How to upload token and image packs into a preset folder.

Is there any way to load entire packages of image's and tokens idirectly into a named folder? Roll20 is truely starting to piss me off. I come from using Fantasy Grounds and Tabletop Simulator into Roll20 as a DM, because its what my players want. Fine. The problem is, I like to do a lot of pre-setting of images and tokens in my tabletop platform so that I can improvise and grab an image a moments notice. For a random encounter in a city, I normall could just pull a map from a city map folder and random thugs from an NPC folder and its on. Now I am only talking images. Not character profiles or similar. Roll20 allows for folders set up just like I outlined. Thats not the problem. The problem is I have well over 2-3K+ images, tokens, icons, maps, and map segments. All seperated into their own folders and packs. In other platforms I can upload the folder and it will retain all the data separately. Thats not what Roll20 does however. Even when I set up a folder to upload or import into it puts everything into a bulk reserve. Then I spend hours moving each image, map or token into seperate folders one image at a time. God forbid I have mutiple campaigns and have to copy the same files mutiple times. So can someone please instruct me on how to copy full packages of images into Roll20 and into a preset folder without having to spend countless hours going one for one. I mean Roll20 has been around for nearly a decade now and I am sure this has come up prior. Its standard in all the competition platforms so I figure I am just missing something. But I have notfound a single tutorial on how to do it.  So any help will be great. Because this might be a deal breaker on continuing using Roll20 if I cant figure it out. Thanks.

Sorry to disappoint you, but that's not a feature of Roll20 currently.  I can't tell you what the best work flow would be for you, the way I handle similar is to have multiple storage Games that I can then pull resources in from via the Transmogrifier. That has the advantage of keeping your playing Games lean and fast, while letting you organize shared content for impromptu use. 
Having a mule campaign - Good idea, I’m going to look into that!  Thanks TA.
It would be great if Roll20 gave every account its own Asset Library that you could pull from in games automatically.  It would avoid a lot of duplication and make finding things rapidly much easier.
