Disable "New Folder" Button on List or Library Control

Forms SharePoint Online

How do you disable the "new folder" button on a list or library control? I want users to be able to upload files, but not create a new folder.

Hello @tnewton,

Looks like you are using an outdated version of the app package, as the toolbar buttons of the List or Library control in SharePoint Online have changed, and there is no separate 'New folder' button anymore.

Please check the app package version. You can fin it in the console (F12) >> Source. The latest version is 1.0.8. Please follow the instructions on how to Update the app package to get the latest version.

Also please check the desktop designer version, it can be found in the bottom right of the program.

Thank you! That worked.
Now, how to you hide the New button?
$(fd.control("spdtProposal").$el).find('.btn').hide();
I tried the code above, but it hides all the buttons. I want the Upload button, not New.

Hello @tnewton,

Great! To hide the new utton just add this code:

fd.spRendered(function() {
    fd.control('SPDataTable1').ready().then(function(dt) {
        dt.buttons.forEach(function(button){
            if(button.icon == "Add") {
                button.visible = false
            }
        });
    });
});

Replace SPDataTable1 with the internal name of the control.

Perfection! Thank you.
