Maintenance of Images library in Cognos Analytic Cloud

Managing Images in Cognos Analytics Cloud is not convenient:
- when adding images to reports, we are not able to browse folders to locate images.
- the synchronisation mechanism between our server and IBM cloud servers is handling only 1 single flat directory.

IBM needs to provide a way to synchronize a whole folder structure for the images.
Doing so, we would be able to :
- maintain locally our image library with all necessary folders & subfolders. An automated FTP process should synchronize the whole library with the equivalent structure in IBM Cloud Servers.
- browse the library in our local server to know the exact name a complete path of the desire picture to be added in a report. The latest step to convert this complete path into a comprehensive path for Cognos Analytics can be easily done by the report developper.
