As you may know PBR materials come with multiple layers of images. I want to know if there is a way to select a folder or multiple image files to import it automatically to smart material. 

The current method I am importing the PBR materials are through the smart material editor. I open up the smart material tab and select individual row for normal, rough, matel, etcc.. 
Noticing that these micro clicks stars to add up in time (hindering workflow efficiency). Is there a more effective way to import PBR materials?

Try this:

Add existing materials folder.

Add the Smart materials from an existing folder. A new Materials folder with the same name will be created. Select at least one file to automatically add all the files from the folder to the list.

This is the complete list of aliases (at the end of the filename) used to recognize the texture usage:

Bump:
_DEPTH, _BUMP, _DEEP, _DISPL, _DISP, _DISPLACEMENT, _D

Normal map:
_NMAP, _NM, _NORMAL, _NORMALMAP, _NORM, _NORMALS, _N

Color:
_COLOR, _CLR, _DIFFUSE, _ALBEDO, _CL, _RGB, _DIF, _C

Gloss:
_SPEC, _GLOSS, _GLOSNESS, _GLOSINESS, _GLOSSNESS, _GLOSSINESS

Roughness:
_ROUGH, _ROUGHNESS, _R

Clip mask:
_MASK, _MSK, _MS, _CLIP, _ALPHA

Metalness:
_MET, _METAL, _METALL, _METALLICITY, _METALICITY, _METALNESS, _METALLNESS, _MT, _ME, _METL

Ignored:
_PREVIEW, _PREV, _TMB, _THUMBNAIL, _PRV, _AO, _OCCLUSION

The any of . – ~ may be used instead of the _ sign.

If any map is named with a space in the name, the texture is assigned as new Smart Material. Edit
