ATTENTION: Starting Oct 10, 2024, all Private Projects and Folders will be accessible by Account Admins and Owners.

We recommend moving any Private Projects and Folders you don't want Admins and Owners to access to a personal Frame.io account before Oct 10.

Creating Folders

Give your account some structure by creating Folders and sub-folders. 

For additional privacy, set the folders to Private. Private folders are only accessible to Team Members. Collaborators cannot access Private Files or Folders 🔒

Click the New button on the top right of your Project Page or right-click in the project space and choose New Folder or New Private Folder. Name a new folder when you create it and click OK.

Select and drag a file on the folder to drop them in the next folder level. Select multiple files by holding the Shift key & Command/Control while clicking the files. To move any files out of that folder level or moved elsewhere in your account, utilize the Move To option.

Frame.io supports infinitely nested folders, so you can create as many sub-folders as you need to keep your projects organized.

💡Frame.io Top Tip

Upload a Folder from your desktop, and Frame.io will retain its structure!

Creating Private Folders

Creating Private folders and files allow you to hide assets from your Collaborators. This allows you to invite a collaborator to your project without having access to all of the files 🕵️

Change the privacy of an existing file or folder in real-time. If someone is actively looking at that file or a folder and it's set to private, the Collaborator will immediately lose access.

If external users only require access to certain files, Review Links allow for more control over what users have access to view.
