Using folders

Organize and share files easily using folders. For example, you can add files to folders that you have Editor or Owner access to.

Creating a new folder

  1. From the navigation bar, click Files.
  2. Click New and then Folder.
  3. Specify the name of the folder and how you want it shared.
  4. Click Create.
  5. To upload new files directly to the folder, open the folder then drag and drop the files from your computer to the content pane.

You can also create subfolders, provided that you have Owner or Editor access to the top-level folder. Keep in mind that subfolders always inherit the sharing settings of the top-level folder.

Editing folder or subfolder properties

You must have Owner or Editor access to the top-level folder.

  1. From the navigation bar, click Files.
  2. In the sidebar, select the folder or subfolder that you want to edit.
  3. Click the arrow next to the folder name in the action bar, then select Edit Properties.
  4. Enter your changes and click Save.

Adding uploaded files to a folder

Note: If you add a private file to a public folder, the file will become public.

  1. From the navigation bar, click Files.
  2. In the sidebar, select the folder or subfolder that you want to edit.
  3. Click the arrow next to the folder name in the action bar, then select Add Files.
  4. Select the files you want to add to a folder, then click Add files.
