Description

Folderify is a high-performance, React-based WordPress plugin that helps you keep your media library organized — no matter how many thousands of images, videos, audio files, or documents you have.

Live Demo — Try it for yourself!

🗂️ Core Features (Free)

  • Unlimited Root-Level Folders — Organize your media library without limits.
  • Drag & Drop — Effortlessly move media between folders or reorder them.
  • Media File Replacement — Replace any media file while preserving its URL and all database references.
  • CSV Export — Easily export your folder structure for backup or migration.
  • 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.

🚀 Upgrade to Folderify Pro

Take your media organization to the next level with our professional-grade features:

  • Nested Subfolders — Create a deep hierarchy of folders and subfolders.
  • 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.
  • Smart Imports — Import existing folders from CSV, FileBird, or Folders (Premio).
  • Automatic Backups — Peace of mind with daily automated folder structure backups.
  • Workflow Optimization — Remembers your last active folder for faster uploading.
  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.
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.

Nice & Clean Look

Hi, I love it but it could be hardened & optimized:

  1. 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.
  2. 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!
