Folders in My Media in Video Portal

About

You can organize your personal My Media library using folders. You can create folders, build nested structures, and move your media into them for easier access and management. Your folders are private and visible only to you.

Once folders are enabled, you’ll see a My folders section at the top left of your My Media page. You will also see a Unfiled media folder. This shows all media items not yet placed inside any folder. As you organize your media into folders, those items will no longer appear in Unfiled media.

Create a folder

1. Go to My Media.
2. To the right of the My folders section, click the add icon (+).



The 'Create folder' window opens.



3. Enter a name (required).
4. In the Choose Location section:

• If this is your first folder, the only available location is My Folders (your top-level folder).
• If you already have folders, you’ll see a list of your existing folders and subfolders. Select where you’d like to place the new folder by choosing a location from the list.

5. Click Create.

A confirmation message displays and your new folder appears in your My folders section.

Repeat these steps to create more folders.

Create a subfolder

You can create folders up to three levels deep.

1. To the right of the My folders section, click the add icon (+).



The 'Create folder' window opens.

2. Enter a folder name (folder names must be unique within the same location, but you can reuse the same name in different branches).
3. In the Choose folder location section, select the parent folder where you want to place your new folder.



4. Click Save.
A confirmation message displays and your new subfolder appears inside the parent folder.

Add media to a folder

Delete a folder

Deleting a folder also deletes any subfolders inside it, but your media remain safe - it’s moved back to Unfiled media or to the parent folder, if applicable.

1. In the My Folders section, find the folder you want to delete and click on it.
2. At the top left of the page, you’ll see the folder’s location displayed as a navigation path (showing where you are inside your folder structure). This helps you confirm which folder you’re working in.
3. Next to the folder name in this path, click the three-dot menu and select Delete folder.



A confirmation message displays.



4. Click Delete to continue.

Update a folder

You can rename a folder or move it to a different location in your folder structure. When you move a folder, all its subfolders and media move with it.

1. In the My Folders section, select the folder you want to update.
2. At the top of the page, you’ll see the folder’s location displayed as a navigation path (showing where you are in your folder structure).
3. Next to the folder name in this path, click the three-dot menu and select Update folder.



The 'Update folder' window opens.

4. In the Update folder window you can rename the folder, and / or move it to a different location. 



5. Click Update.

Search in folders

Use the search bar at the top of My Media to find media within the folder you’ve opened. All the usual filters, like media type, owner, etc. still work, and apply to the selected folder (and its subfolders).
