I'd dearly love the option to add links to local folders. It's the only way to integrate my EN use with certain other things I do. This isn't the same as dragging files into EN notes -- eg. what if I want a note to be related to a project which has a folder with hundreds of large files in it, putting it on the wrong side of even a year's worth of EN uploads? Also dragging large numbers of files into notes loses dir structure, which is often crucial to projects.
The current behaviour is to add a zip archive when I drag a folder in, which I never use.
I understand that local links break when used elsewhere, but that's no reason for it not be an option.
This feature used to exist in some version of EN on Windows (don't remember which). I really hope that this option hasn't been removed) in order to 'encourage' people to put everything in EN, rather than use EN notes to link disparate sources together (which is my preference). If the company aim is to encourage EN as an everything-container rather than organiser for disparate sources, would it be possible for someone (Dave?) to state this explicitly, so that those of use who want to use it in a different way can make future usage decisions with all the relevant information to hand?

This is a near-dupe of another post (viewtopic.php?f=30&t=19510&p=80919&hilit=local+file+links#p80816), but it's folders rather than files that really exercises me.
