Quick Actions

    • Right-click on any media file to access a dropdown menu with various options.
  • Hover over any file to quickly view essential details such as the file name, last modified date, and file size.

Useful Tips:

  • Recommendation for Naming and Tagging: It's advised to name images and add keywords for easier searchability by team members.
  • Compress Images in ZIP Files: Compressing images into ZIP files reduces their size for faster uploads and downloads, improving efficiency in file management and minimizing storage space usage.
  1. Multi Select
    • The Multi-Select feature in Media Storage is designed to streamline file management by allowing users to select multiple files at once and perform bulk actions such as moving, downloading, or deleting.
    • To use it, simply enter multi-select mode by dragging across files in grid view or using checkboxes in list view. Once selected, you can execute the desired action.

Notes

  • Users can select and download up to 100 files at a time. If a file size exceeds 2 GB, it will be skipped in multi-download and has to be downloaded individually.
  • When in multi-select mode, the “Rename” and “Get Link” options will be disabled for selected files to maintain simplicity during bulk actions.
