Improved Folder Management (v.26)

We’ve made some exciting improvements to Folder Management within the My Apps module!

Just like you're used to in Windows, the Folders application lets you organize your files in a familiar, intuitive way. Each folder contains files you’ve uploaded and can be created, deleted, or repositioned as needed—helping you keep your workspace structured and efficient.

Our recent updates bring smoother interaction, better performance, and more flexibility when working with your folders.

What’s new in Folders

1. Folders as the hosting application for Files

The Folders app now acts as the main viewer for all files uploaded to a record.

    • Double-clicking or Open option in the menu opens a file in the Files side panel opens it inside the Folders application.
    • Files are not stored in the folders you create—instead, all uploaded files are stored in the system table: System > Internal System Data > Object Files.

  • Drag-and-Drop folder reorganization - you can reorganize folders with a simple drag and drop:
    • Move a folder to become a subfolder of another
    • Promote it to a parent folder, or make it standalone
    • If a parent folder is removed (e.g., from the Details side panel), its child folders become top-level folders

  • Create or edit: Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), Text (.txt)
  • View: PDFs, images, and more
