Enjoy advanced features like nested subfolders, role-based permissions, color-coding, ZIP downloads, and more—completely free of charge! ### ✨ Minimalist & Unique UI Unlike other bulky plugins that clutter your WordPress admin area, Folderify features a completely unique, ultra-minimalist design. It seamlessly blends into the native WordPress interface while providing a clean, distraction-free environment that is incredibly easy and intuitive to use. No heavy panels, no confusing settings—just pure performance and elegance. ### 🗂️ Core Features (100% Free) We recently unlocked all of our Pro features and made them completely free for everyone! * **Unlimited Root-Level Folders** — Organize your media library without limits. * **Nested Subfolders** — Create a deep hierarchy of folders and subfolders. * **Drag & Drop** — Effortlessly move media between folders or reorder them. * **Folder Colors** — Color-code your folders for instant visual recognition. * **Private Per-User Folders** — Let each user manage their own private folder structure. * **Role-Based Permissions** — Granularly control who can create, edit, or delete folders. * **Download Folder as ZIP** — Quickly download entire folders as a single archive. * **Duplicate Folders** — Clone folder structures with a single click. * **Breadcrumb Navigation** — Navigate large folder hierarchies with ease. * **Media File Replacement** — Replace any media file while preserving its URL and all database references. * **Smart Imports** — Import existing folders from **CSV**, **FileBird**, or ** Folders (Premio)**. * **CSV Export** — Easily export your folder structure for backup or migration. * **Automatic Backups** — Peace of mind with daily automated folder structure backups. * **Workflow Optimization** — Remembers your last active folder for faster uploading. * **Folder Panel in Post Types** — Use the folder system within your posts and pages. * **Page Builder Friendly** — Seamlessly works inside Gutenberg, Elementor, WPBakery, Beaver Builder, and Divi. ## Screenshots * [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via **Plugins > Add New**. 2. Activate through the **Plugins** screen. 3. Go to **Media > Library** to see the folder sidebar. 4. Manage permissions and settings at **Folderify**. ## FAQ ### Will it slow down my website? No. Folderify uses its own custom database tables for folder indexing. This completely avoids costly JOIN queries on `wp_posts` and scales to 100,000+ files with no performance impact. ### Can I export folders? Yes. Go to **Folderify > Export** to export your existing folders structure. ### Does it work with Elementor’s media picker? Yes. The folder panel appears inside Elementor’s media modal. ### What happens if I deactivate the plugin? Your media files are untouched. Folder assignments are stored separately and can be re-activated at any time. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d92391c4a983b3081b5732fbdb32184792777ef175a2c153268f44b2f9cc0174? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nice & Clean Look](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-clean-look-3/)󠁿 [retunes](https://profiles.wordpress.org/retunes/) 13, Abril de 2026 Hi, I love it but it could be hardened & optimized: You can drag outside the Media Library Pages (e.g. on the Plugin page), which will show the dragging-info “1 file” or “2 files”. You should limit that to the Media Library page /wp-admin/upload.php only. Sometimes I have to reload after performing some actions like creating a new Folder or deleting a folder, to “reset” the state. I think this should be tested more. Otherwise a great Plugin!
