# Create new folders

You can create new folders using the **New Folder** button, which is always available at the top of the screen.

This button automatically loads the name of the folder you are currently viewing and where the folder will be created.

To create a folder in the Root directory, click **New Folder in Root** at the top of the screen.

To create a folder inside another folder, either:

* Click **New Folder in \<folder\_name>** at the top of the screen, or
* Click the ![](/files/rPPtOuuCf967gRpt31ho) **Add Folder** icon in the **Action** column.

In both cases, the **Create Folder** window will appear. Enter the folder name and confirm by clicking **ADD FOLDER**.

Both the **New folder in root** option at the top of the screen and the **Add folder** ![](/files/rPPtOuuCf967gRpt31ho) button can be hidden for users that do not have permissions to create new folders.

#### Permissions and Visibility

The **New Folder in Root** option and the **Add Folder** button can be hidden for users without permission to create folders.

* **Hide New Folder in Root option**
  1. Open the configuration-wui.json file described on the [configuration-wui.json file](/data-mover-1.21/file-manager/customize-file-manager-externals/configuration-wui.json-file.md) page.
  2. Set the `hideNewFolderBtn` property to `true` (default is `false`).\
     After this change, the **New Folder in Root** option will no longer be visible.
