How to organize your project files with folders

Create folders in Project Files, move or upload files into them, then rename, download, share or delete a folder.

Written by Gail Esterhuyse

Keep your project files in folders, for example "Floor plans", "Renders" or "Contracts". Your guests see the same folders on their project dashboard, so your client finds things quickly.
