Organizing Files with Folders

Folders help you keep your files organized and easy to find. Here's how to create and manage folders in Onlinedrive.

Creating a Folder

1. Navigate to where you want the new folder (the root level or inside another folder)
2. Right-click an empty area of the file browser and choose New Folder
3. Enter a name for your folder
4. Click Create

Your new folder appears immediately in the file browser.

Moving Files into Folders

You can move files into folders using the context menu:

1. Right-click on a file (or click the three-dot menu)
2. Select Move to...
3. Choose the destination folder
4. Click Move

Navigating Folders

• Click a folder to open it and see its contents
• Use the breadcrumb navigation at the top to go back to parent folders
• Click any breadcrumb item to jump directly to that level

Folder Actions

Right-click a folder to access these options:

• Open Folder — Navigate into the folder
• Rename — Change the folder name
• Move to... / Copy to... — Move or copy the folder somewhere else
• Share — Share the folder with a link or with specific people
• Move to Trash — Delete the folder and its contents

Tips for Organization

• Create top-level folders for major categories (e.g., "Projects", "Photos", "Documents")
• Use descriptive folder names so you can find things quickly
• Nest folders for detailed organization (e.g., "Projects / Website / Images")
• Remember that folders belong to the current workspace — switching workspaces shows different folders
