Hiding or Disabling "Upload" button using RadFileExplorer

[Gean]

I have a problem with regards on hiding  or Disabling "Upload" toolbar

Here is the scenario:

I have a Parent Folder - Folder 1
and a Child Folder - Folder 2
and a Child Sub-Folder - Folder 3

What I want to achieve is
Hide or Disable the upload button on Parent folder and Child Sub-folder
and the user can upload files inside Child Folder

but I don't know how can I achieve this.

Thank you very much.
Hoping for your reply soon

Hi Gean,

You can configure the folders where the user will be able to upload files, by setting the paths to them to the FileExplorer's Configuration's UploadPaths property. For instance, if the "Folder 1" is placed directly in you application root, you can configure it in a  similar way:

<telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="RadFileExplorer2" runat="server">
    <Configuration ViewPaths="~/Folder 1" UploadPaths="~/Folder 1/Folder 2" />
</telerik:RadFileExplorer>

With the above configuration, the users will be able to see the files in Folder 1, and to upload files in Folder 2 and all of its subfolders. By design, FileExplorer does not provide a functionality to give permissions only to a specific folder, the are inherited by all of its children (if any).

A way to restrict the upload in Folder 3 is
 - subclass the FileSystemContentProvider, by overriding its CheckWritePermissions() method
 - check in the override whether the current  path starts/contains (depending on your custom logic) with "Folder 2/"
