Calculated Value in Default value for Folder Name in SharePoint 2013

I'm using SharePoint 2013.

I have a document library with folders inside it.

I want to add a column to the folders that holds the folder's name.

I added a column of type single line of text.

What do I need to write in the Default value part in the Calculated value text box?

All I need is that when I upload a file to this folder I will see the folder's name in the column.

Thank you in advance!

IMO this is not possible as calculated fields can only address the same item's properties.

I would strongly suggest to check out Document Sets in SharePoint. They actually are there for those needs because you can configure which columns your files will share with the document set (which is actually a folder). After configuration, you can add an item and that item will take over metadata from the parent (document set).

Hope this helps you
