Media Folders
Folders help you organize your media library as your content grows. Keep your files structured and easy to find with support for unlimited nesting levels.
Creating Folders
- In Media, click New Folder
- Enter a folder name
- Click Create
To create a nested folder:
- Navigate to the parent folder
- Click New Folder
- The new folder is created inside the current folder
Nested Folders
Screenzzie supports unlimited folder nesting levels, allowing you to create deep organizational structures.
Breadcrumb Navigation
When inside nested folders, a breadcrumb trail shows your current location:
Media > Images > Products > Summer Collection
Click any breadcrumb to jump directly to that folder level.
Tree View Mode
For complex folder hierarchies, use the Tree View toggle to see your entire folder structure at a glance:
- Expand/collapse folders with the arrow icons
- Drag files directly to folders in the tree
- See file counts per folder

Folder Actions
Right-click a folder or use the folder menu for these actions:
- Open - Navigate into the folder
- Rename - Change the folder name
- Delete - Remove the folder and all contents
Folder deletion is permanent. When you delete a folder, all files inside are permanently deleted, not moved to root. This includes all nested subfolders and their contents.
Deleting Folders with Contents
When deleting a folder that contains files or subfolders:
- A confirmation dialog shows what will be deleted
- You'll see the count of files and subfolders affected
- Confirm to proceed with recursive deletion
- All contents are permanently removed
Before deleting a folder, consider moving any files you want to keep to another location first.
Deleting Empty Folders
Empty folders can be deleted immediately without additional confirmation.
Navigating Folders

Best Practices
- Plan your structure - Sketch out your folder hierarchy before creating it
- Use consistent naming - Stick to a naming convention (e.g., lowercase, hyphens)
- Don't nest too deep - 3-4 levels is usually sufficient
- Archive old campaigns - Move completed campaigns to an "Archive" folder instead of deleting
- Review quarterly - Clean up unused folders and reorganize as needed
