What can I use folders for?

If you work with repeat clients or do high volume photography, folders are a powerful tool for staying organized and sharing everything in one place. Here are some ideas on how to use folders:

• Photography with returning clients: Organize a client’s collections into respective folders so they have a single link to view all their past sessions. The next time the client books you, add the new collection to their folder so they can easily pick up where they left off.
• Product photography: Consolidate a repeat client’s collections into a folder and share it with them, so they have one place to review all their past campaigns, product shoots, or promotions.
• School or corporate photography: Add collections for different classes or departments into a folder. Students and employees can quickly navigate to their specific collection to find themselves.
• Event photography (sports, festivals, conferences): Organize collections by day, location, or team/artist and add them to one folder to help participants find the exact moment they are looking.

Setting up a Folder

Set up a new folder for a client from your Collections page:

1. Click ▼ next to New Collection and select New Folder.
2. Give your folder a name and click Create Folder. You can also optionally add a folder password or event date during this step.
3. Select collections and drag them into your new folder. You can also create new collections within the folder itself.
4. To share the folder with a client, click ⋮ > Share.

Folder Password

You can add a layer of privacy to any folder by setting a global folder password. Visitors will be required to enter the password before they can view the folder and the collections. For example, this is useful for repeat clients that’d like their collections to be accessible in one place but still private.

Note: When you set a global folder password, all collections in that folder will use that password.

If you did not set up a password during folder creation, you can add it afterwards:

1. View the folder and click More > Folder settings.
2. Toggle on Global Folder Password. This will generate a strong, randomized password for the folder and the collections within.
3. Click Save.

Client Side Experience

When you share a folder, your client will see the published collections organized for them to view and they can click on any to browse the photos within. If the folder is protected with a global folder password, your client will need to enter the password first before they can view any collections. They will only need to do this once per browser session.

Any updates to the folder (e.g. adding new collections) will reflect immediately on your client’s side.
