Is there a way that I can keep users from saving files out on the root of a
network drive and require them to save the file to a folder? I am having
problems with users just saving files out on the network and not under any
folder. Thank you for any help you can give me.
 
First, don't set your "Shares" at the root of a drive to start with. Set the
"Shares" at the top-most folder you want them to use. After that you
control where they can save or not save by the NTFS Permissions.

create a folder anywhere you want
share it and assign the group who needs access the read permission
then create a subfolder or create a structure underneath
then assign the same group write permissions

or...

set a deny on file creation using the advanced security settings on the
top folder

Thank you for your suggestion. I am going to use your last idea. One
question if I do this, will they be able to create folders? Or will it keep
them from doing that. It would be nice to allow them. If not I think we can
live with it.

they are 2 separate policies
so they cannot create files but they will be able to create folders
in those folders they will be able to create files

for that you have to be sure to set the deny create file permission for
"this folder only"
where "this folder" is offcourse the top folder
and not for "this folder and all subfolders"
