Organizing assets with folders (beta)

Use beta folders to organize assets in your projects.

You can create nested folders, and there is no limit to the number of folders you can create.

Required permissions
You must have the Admin or Editor role in a project to create or manage folders and their contents.

Restrictions and usage notes

  • After you enable folders, you cannot disable them.
  • Collaborators with the Viewer role cannot enable, create, or edit folders.
  • Folder organization does not persist when you import or export assets.
  • In beta, you cannot move some asset types from the root folder into a folder you create. See Assets types that you can move.
  • When you move a file into a folder, the file is assigned a unique name in the Cloud Object Storage associated with the project. For example, a file named data.csv file might change to data__os__mm4528reg.csv in COS. This allows for the same file to be stored in different folders. This affects file operations only if you directly access a file from a COS bucket. In that case, the asset name is stored as part of the file's metadata.
