Creating new folders

New folders can be created with the New folder button that is always available at the top of the screen.

As you can note, the button automatically loads the name of the folder you are currently viewing and where the folder will be created.

To add a folder to the root, click the New folder in root option at the top of the screen.
To add a folder to another folder, either click the New folder in <folder_name> option at the top of the screen or click the icon in the Action column.

In either case, the Create folder window will appear. Simply enter a name for the folder and confirm clicking the ADD FOLDER button.

Both the New folder in root option at the top of the screen and the button can be hidden for users that do not have permissions to create new folders.

The New folder in root option can be hidden by following these steps:

  • Open the configuration-wui.json file as described in the configuration-wui.json file page.
  • Edit the hideNewFolderBtn property to true. The property is set to false by default.
  • After the property is set to true, the New folder in root option at the top of the screen will
    be hidden.

The button can be hidden for users that not have the right permission to add folders to a subfolder. To do so, follow these steps:

  • Open the configuration-wui.json file as described in the configuration-wui.json file page.
  • Edit the hideFolderAddAction property to true. The property is set to false by default.
  • After the property is set to true, all buttons in the File Manager table will be hidden.
