Organising with folders
The folder tree, nesting, renaming, and the search and view controls for finding a file again.
4 min readUpdated
A File board has a folder tree on the left and the files in the open folder on the right. The tree starts at All Documents. Breadcrumbs across the top read Home › All Files, followed by the path to your current location.
Creating Folders#
Open the New dropdown at the top of the tree and choose New folder, or hover over an existing folder and choose New sub-folder.
In Create New Folder, enter a name under Folder Name.
Choose one of the ten preset colors.
Choose Create.
Renaming and Removing#
Hover over a folder to open its ⋯ More options menu, which includes Rename and Delete. The pencil button on a folder row also opens the rename option.
Finding a File#
Search all files… searches the entire board, not just the open folder. The X beside the search field clears the search.
While a search is running, the header reads "Searching…". When it finishes, it shows "{n} results for "{query}"". Results include a Location column showing which folder each file is in.
The folder tree is hidden while searching and reappears when you clear the search.
The Grid / List toggle switches between thumbnails and a table showing Name, Size, Uploaded By, and Upload Date. Files at the top level show "Root" as their location.
