Hi All,

/Content/dam

/content/dam/Common

/Content/dam/FolderA/Common

I dont want duplicate the content/images of Common DAM folder under Folder A and Folder B

 

I tried creating a nt:/linkedfile and jcr:Reference etc... but nothing worked.Is there any solution to link one folder to another folder in AEM DAM.Please suggest

Sorry, I don’t understand the issue. If the assets are "common," meaning they are shared among other folders, you should place them in a common folder rather than in specific folders like FolderA and FolderB. What would be the purpose of /FolderA/Common? I think you need to reconsider the taxonomy and how to approach your business use case. My advice would be to maintain a separate folder for "shared" assets and not include those assets in the specific ones. You can check how the Wknd.site structures their assets as an example.

 

Hope this helps.

    @rajashankar33: May be you can use asset  collection if that works for your use case which only keeps reference. Or make use of metadata - like tags or drop down values to indicate the usage of assets .
