Feature access by account type
Folders function differently depending on your membership type:
- For Free, Basic, and Plus members, folders are not shareable, linkable, or visible to anyone but the account owner since these tiers do not include additional team seats. If you’d like to create groupings of videos to share, you’ll want to make a showcase, group, or channel.
- For all other plan types, folders serve as workspaces for collaboration. Contributor team members added to a folder can upload, manage, replace, and embed videos within that specific folder.
Rename or delete a folder
If you hover over a folder, you’ll see an ... icon appear. Click the icon to access the options to Delete your folder. Choosing Delete will bring up a confirmation module to delete the folder, with the option to delete the videos within the folder as well.
To Rename your folder:
- Select Folder settings from the ... icon.
- Within Folder settings, you will be able to rename your folder.
You can also click the gear icon in the upper-right section of the page to open the folder settings modal window. Below the names of your team members who have folder access, you’ll find a Delete folder button; note that only the owner and account admins have the ability to delete folders.
Note for Enterprise Accounts: To rename an Enterprise video’s folder, you can also go to your Video Library home page and click on the options menu (•••) to the right to edit the folder name to the desired one.
Subfolders
You can further organize the videos within your folders by making subfolders. To create a subfolder, navigate to one of your folders. In the upper right section of the page, click the (+) New Folder button to create and name your subfolder.
Please note the following about subfolders:
- You can create subfolders up to 10 levels deep within the main parent folder.
- All subfolders will inherit the permissions of the parent folder.
- When the top-level folder is shared with a member of the team, they will also have access to the subfolders.
- If a new subfolder is added to a folder after sharing the folder with a team member, that individual will also have access to the newly created subfolder.
- Team owners and Admins can also share a subfolder separately from its parent folder if you want to restrict access to some of the content in the parent folder.
Sort folders in the library
To customize the order of folders and content displayed in your library, you can use the dropdown menu towards the left of the page.
Select the dropdown menu next to Modified or Added to sort your folders by date modified or added to your library. Use the arrow to the right to switch between descending and ascending dates.
You can also move folders into other folders to better organize your content.
Folder breadcrumbs on the video page
You can see which folder and subfolder a video is located in at the top left corner of the video page. You can navigate to the folders from these links as well.
