    Problem using MediaService to create a Folder

    Hi Umbraco Folk,

    Based on code from https://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Reference/Management/Services/MediaService I wrote the following lines of code:

     var ms = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MediaService;
 var mediaMapFolder = ms.CreateMedia("TTImages", -1, "Folder");
 ms.Save(mediaMapFolder);

    This is successful in creating a folder node in node Umbraco/BackOffice/Media. But it does not create a new folder on disk as I expected at "/media/TTImages/".

    Please let me know if you can help explain what is happening or help me resolve this issue.

    Thanks very much,

    Terry Clancy ClanceZ

    As far as I know. You are creating a media "TTImages with" the media type "Folder". Folder media type is for the back office. And Umbraco should not create a folder on the disk. It only exist on the umbraco back office.
