Upload whole folders to the File Store

Until now, sending a folder to the File Store meant opening it, selecting every file and losing the folders inside on the way. A photo shoot with Raw and Edits folders arrived as one long list.

Now you can upload a whole folder, and it arrives just as it was on your computer.

Upload a folder in the File Store

Open Tools > File Store and go to the folder you want to put it in. Then either:

• drag the folder from your desktop and drop it on the list, or
• click Upload a folder (the open-folder button beside Upload) and choose it. It is on the right-click menu too.

Every file uploads with its own progress bar, and the folders inside are made as the files land. If a folder with the same name is already there, the new files are added to it rather than making a copy.

Let other people send you a folder

With File Store Pro, an upload request is a link that lets anyone send files into one of your folders, no account needed. The page they see now has a second choice: Or a whole folder. A client can send a project folder in one go, and you find it in your folder with everything in its place. You still decide how many files, how big each may be and until when.

Good to know

• Hidden files your computer leaves behind, such as .DS_Store, Thumbs.db and desktop.ini, are left out. On an upload request they do not count towards the link's number of files.
• Folders still go twelve deep at most, and your space and the largest-file limit apply to every file as usual.
• A file that is refused does not leave an empty folder behind.
• One send through an upload request takes up to 50 files. A bigger folder can be sent in parts.
