Adding folders and files

Adding a new folder

Adding a folder in the Drive is very simple and easy.

Below are the methods to add a new folder:

Method 1

1. Click Drive in the left menu bar, and the Drive window appears
2. In the Drive window, you can see the existing Folders and Subfolders in tree-view style on the left side
3. In the main directory of the drive, click the New folder option on the top left, and a New folder window appears
4. Type in the folder name in the New folder window and click Create

Method 2

Another effortless way of adding a new folder is to use the left folder navigation bar. You can find the similarity of the workflow to that of the category view in the documentation window of your knowledge base.

1. Click Drive in the left menu bar, and the Drive window appears
2. In the Drive window, you can see the existing folders and subfolders in tree-view style on the left side.
3. In the left navigation bar, hover the mouse pointer over the space between the folders, and the "+" icon appears
4. Click the "+" icon → Type in the folder name and click Create

Method 3

The most effortless way to add a new folder in the drive is by clicking the '+' button at the bottom of the Drive window.

1. Click Drive in the left menu bar, and the Drive window appears
2. Click the '+ New' button at the bottom left
3. Add the folder name and click Create

System folders

Every project comes with a default Images folder, which includes three subfolders: Documentation, Settings, and Home page builder.

• Images, Settings, Home Page Builder, and Documentation are system folders
• They are indicated with a shield on the folder icon
• The system folders cannot be deleted or renamed
• However, you can add files and folders within the system folders and perform all the drive actions on them

Adding subfolders

Once you have more than one main folder, you can add subfolders under them.

Method 1

1. Click Drive in the left menu bar, and the Drive window appears
2. Click on the More options (•••) button next to the folder in the left navigation bar, select the Add folder option
3. Type in the folder name in the New folder window and click Create

Method 2

1. Click Drive in the left menu bar, and the Drive window appears
2. Hover the mouse pointer over the space between the folders in the left navigation bar and the "+" icon appears
3. Click the "+" icon → Type in the folder name and click Create

But, make sure the main folder is in expanded view (The arrow indicator on the left side of the folder is pointing downwards), if not then another main folder would be created.

Adding files

You can add individual or multiple files into the folders or subfolders.

If your folder is empty, you find the circular Drag and drop area at the center with an Upload option inside.

You can either do the common drag and drop files from your computer (or) click the Upload option button and use the file explorer to select your files.

Same as adding a subfolder, you can also use the left navigation bar to add files using the More options ••• button and then the Add files option.

Increase in file size limit for upload

We have now increased the limit of individual and bulk file sizes uploaded into the Drive.

New file size limit

• Single file upload – The maximum file size is 150MB per file
• Multiple files upload – The maximum combined size of all the files selected should be no more than 160MB
