Folder operations
Creating a folder

Uploading files
Single/multiple files
- Select via New → Add File or drag and drop files directly into the gallery.

Uploading a zip archive
- New → Add Zip File. "Select a ZIP or RAR file. The images and videos inside it will be uploaded automatically."
- Select the archive with Select File (maximum 100 MB).
- Create with its folders option: if checked, the folder structure in the archive is preserved.
- Upload. All the images/videos inside it are uploaded.
Selecting and editing files
Selecting

- Ctrl/Cmd + click: selects multiple files.
- Shift + click: selects all files in between.
- At the top it shows "{count} selected".
Moving (drag-and-drop)
You can move a file (or selected files) by grabbing it and dragging it onto a folder. You also move them by dropping onto the Root Folder / Parent Folder cards.
Copy / Cut / Paste
- Copy or Cut → go to another folder → Paste. (Copy duplicates, Cut moves.)
Preview, Detail, Edit
Preview
With Preview (or right-click) the file opens full screen. With the arrow keys you move to the previous/next file; with ESC you close it. Video plays; for files that cannot be previewed, a download/open option appears.
Details
With Details, the file's information is shown: Name, Type, Width/Height (image), Duration (video), File Size, File Path, Creation/Update Date.
Edit
With Edit you change the file's name (and, for an image, its dimensions; for a video, its custom thumbnail).
To change the content of an image (cropping, background, etc.), the Image Editor is used — see Image Editor and Stock Photos.
Deleting
- Single file: "The ... file will be permanently deleted."
- Multiple: "This action cannot be undone. {count} items will be permanently deleted."
Deletion cannot be undone. If an image is used elsewhere (product, blog), be careful before deleting it.
Empty state
If the folder is empty: "Gallery is empty — No images or folders added yet."
Frequently asked questions
How do I use an image I uploaded in a product? In the product form, say Select from Gallery and select it from this gallery.
Will my images be gone if I delete a folder? No — its contents are moved to the Root Folder, not deleted.
The upload says "skipped". The file may be an unsupported type, or your storage quota may be full.
