Folder Features

There are several useful folder features available to enhance file organization and management, as follows:

These folder features collectively contribute to efficient file organization and ease of navigation.

How It Works

The folder feature works by providing a way to organize and manage files within a hierarchical structure. Here’s how it works at Scribie.

1 Creation

Users can create new folders within their Scribie account. This is done by selecting the Create Folder icon on the All Files page. Once clicked, a pop-up will appear where you can enter the folder name. Once the folder name is typed and the Create Folder button is clicked, the folder is created on the All Files page. The steps are shown in the following figures.

2 Naming

Once a folder is created, users can give it a name that reflects its contents or purpose. This can be done by selecting the folder on the All Files page, as shown below, and choosing the “Rename Folder” option.

3 Organization or Moving Files

Users can organize files by moving them into specific folders. This can be done by selecting one or multiple files and choosing a “Move” option. Users can then select the destination folder where they want to place the files, as shown in the figure below.

4 Subfolders

Users can create subfolders within existing folders as shown below to further categorize and structure files. Subfolders function similarly to regular folders and can be created within a parent folder.

5 Navigation

Users can navigate through folders and subfolders to access their files. This can be done by clicking on the folder on the left sidebar to see the directory tree view and to browse through the folder hierarchy. The figure below shows a sample of this.

6 File Operations

Users can perform various file operations within folders, such as ordering the file for transcription, renaming, deleting, copying, sharing, moving, or downloading the file. These actions can be accessed through the dropdown menu on the right side of the file, or through the toolbar options on the upper right side of the All Files page, as shown in the following figure.

7 Search

Users can search for specific files or keywords within folders, as shown below. This helps users quickly locate files without manually browsing through folders. 

Overall, the folder feature provides a visual and hierarchical structure for organizing files, simplifying file management, improving navigation, and enhancing overall efficiency in working with files and documents.

Advantages

Using folders provides several advantages for file organization and management:

• Structure and Organization: Folders offer a hierarchical structure that helps organize files into logical groups and categories. This structure makes it easier to locate and access specific files when needed.
• Easy Navigation: With folders, users can navigate through their files more efficiently. By having a well-organized folder structure, users can quickly find the desired files without wasting time searching through a cluttered list.
• Improved File Management: Folders enable better file management by allowing users to perform bulk actions on groups of files within a folder. This includes tasks such as moving, copying, and deleting files.
• Clear Visual Representation: Folders provide a visual representation of the file organization, making it easier to understand the relationship and hierarchy between files and folders. This visual clarity enhances user comprehension and facilitates effective file management.

In summary, using folders offers a structured and organized approach to file management, resulting in increased productivity and streamlined access to information.
