    Hi Michelle, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    You can certainly copy a single file into multiple folders in Box, however, you will have to manually copy the file on each folder location you desire as there is no option in Box Webapp to perform the copy in one go for all the 100+ folders so this can take a lot of work. I suggest checking with our Platform and Developer forum to see if there is a way to do this via API. 

    Furthermore, I just want to set your expectations that updating this file will not update it on all other folder location it was copied to as each copied file will be unique and will have different file IDs. 

    Thanks for reaching out and let us know how else we can help!

    Best,
