How to import a kmz file saved in Google Earth into BaseCamp and preserve the folder structure?

I have hundreds of points and tracks in Google Earth Pro. I distributed them in a system of folders and subfolders.
I can generate a kmz file that I can then import to Basecamp to play around.

Thanks

You could manually set up your desired folder structure in BC and migrate the GE folder contents one folder at a time and then use BC going forward. At least you’d only need to do this once.
