Share a folder

Folders let you group related files together and share them as a collection. Think of them as mini galleries or file bundles that anyone can browse with a single link.

Creating a Folder

  1. Open the Folders tab from the sidebar

  2. Tap the + button in the bottom-right corner

  3. Give your folder a name

  4. Optionally pick a cover image from your photo library

  5. Tap Create

Your new folder appears in the Folders list, ready for files.

Adding Files to a Folder

There are several ways to get files into a folder:

Upload Directly Into a Folder

  1. Open a folder by tapping on it

  2. Tap the + button

  3. Choose your upload method (photo, camera, clipboard, file, or folder)

  4. The files upload directly into this folder

Move Existing Files

Already uploaded a file and want to organize it later? No problem.

  1. Go to the Files tab

  2. Long-press the file and tap Move to Folder

  3. Pick the destination folder

  4. Done — the file moves instantly

Tip: You can drag and drop files between folders. Just long-press a file to pick it up, then drop it onto a folder in the list. You can even drag files from the Files tab and drop them onto a folder in the sidebar.

Organizing Files Inside a Folder

Once files are inside a folder, you can arrange them in the order you want.

Reordering Files

Inside a folder, each file row has a drag handle on the right side. Press and hold the handle, then drag the file up or down to reposition it. The new order saves automatically.

Sharing a Folder

Sharing a folder works just like sharing a file. Every folder gets its own link.

  • Swipe right on the folder to copy the link

  • Swipe left to open the share sheet

  • Long-press and choose Copy Link, Share, or QR Code

When someone opens a folder link, they see all the files inside, arranged in the order you set, using the display mode you chose.

Just like files, you can create a custom short link for a folder:

  1. Long-press the folder and tap Edit Link

  2. Set a memorable slug (e.g., vacation-photos)

  3. Customize the link preview for social sharing

  4. Tap Save

Now your folder is at yourname.smmall.cloud/l/vacation-photos.

Editing a Folder

To change a folder's name or cover image:

  1. Long-press the folder and tap Edit

  2. Update the name or pick a new cover image

  3. Tap Save

Deleting a Folder

Long-press the folder and tap Delete. You'll see a confirmation warning that this will permanently delete the folder and all its contents. This can't be undone.
