How to Create and Manage Folders in SendSites
By Declan · Updated May 2026
Organize your library by creating folders, nesting subfolders, and moving assets between them. Works the same way across images, videos, documents, sections, and templates.
Folders in the SendSites library are asset-first: instead of creating an empty folder and dragging files into it, you organize from the asset itself. The same workflow applies across every library tab — images, videos, documents, custom sections, and page templates.
Open the library
From the main account dashboard, click the Library icon in the upper-right corner. This opens your central workspace for hosted images, video clips, and text cards.
Start a folder from an asset
Hover over the thumbnail of an unorganized item you want to sort. A folder icon appears in the overlay. Click it to open the folder assignment field.
Name the new folder
Type a clear category name into the field — for example, dining — and press enter. SendSites creates the folder and places the asset inside it.
Use short, lowercase names. They’re easier to reference when you start nesting subfolders.
Sort the rest of your assets
For each remaining related file, hover over the thumbnail, click the folder icon, and select your new folder from the list to move it in.
Create nested subfolders with a slash
To nest one folder inside another, use forward-slash notation in the folder assignment field. For example, typing amenities/golf places a golf subfolder inside amenities and drops the asset into it.
Move an asset back out
Open the folder, hover over the asset, and click its folder overlay icon again. Use the back control to return the asset to the root library.
Let empty folders clear themselves
There is no manual delete folder button. Once you move every asset out of a folder, it disappears from the library automatically.
If a folder you expected to remove is still visible, it likely still contains at least one asset. Open it to check.
Where this works
The folder workflow is identical on every library tab. Whether you’re sorting property photography, promotional video, sales collateral, reusable sections, or full page templates, the hover-to-folder pattern and slash-based nesting behave the same way.
If a folder isn’t appearing where you expect, or assets aren’t moving between folders, contact support and we’ll take a look at your library.
