The Folders section of your YouSendIt account is home to some of the most powerful, dynamic features available to you as a YouSendIt user. Your folders allow you store and organize documents online, share entire folders with clients, colleagues and friends, and even collaborate on files. In this Tech Tip Tuesday post, I wanted to walk through the process of creating folders and adding files. On Friday, we’ll discuss the basics of collaborating on files with other users, so stay tuned for that as well. OK, let’s talk folders!
Folders
Your Folders section is a place where you can store, share, and collaborate on documents online, right in your YouSendIt account. It should also be noted that the files in your folders never expire. Let’s create a folder of our own.
First, log into your account, and click the Folders tab at the top of the page:
You will arrive at your Home Folder, where you can add files and folders.
To add a new folder, click on Create Folder, and type in the name of your folder:
(Please note that all folder names cannot contain any special characters[#, @, *, etc.], and can only consist of alphanumeric characters.)
Once you create your folder, you can now add files to it! Simply click on the name of the folder you wish to add files to, and click on the Add Files button at the top of the page. Select the files you wish to add to the folder:
You can also place folders within folders, just like the file structure you have on your computer:
From the Actions dropdown menu, you have the option to delete a file/folder, along with a number of other options:
(For more information on the Actions dropdown menu, click here.)
There’s so much we can cover regarding what you can do in your folders section, that we’ll surely start more Folders-related discussions in the future. Be sure to check back in the Community this Friday, when we’ll walk through the basics of collaborating on files in folders. If you want to get a head start, you can read about our free Desktop App, and install it and use it if you’re so inclined by clicking here.
We also have some great videos on syncing/collaborating on files in the Flight School section of our website, which can be viewed here.
Well, that’s all for now. Please let us know what you think about this feature, and if you have any tips on how you organize and/or utilize your folders, please don’t hesitate to share them here! Thanks!
