Overview
Keeping your videos organized in folders makes it easier and faster to find what you need.
Because videos are saved at the account level, your Video Library may include content from many users. Using folders helps everyone work together more smoothly.
You can store videos in folders, subfolders, or directly in the root directory of the Video Library. There's no limit to how many folders and subfolders you can create.
This article covers everything you need to know to manage your folders, including creating, moving, renaming, deleting, and viewing folder details.
Note:
The guidelines in this article apply when the Video Library is in grid view. In list view, the Options menu (where you access folder actions) appears at the end of each row.
