# 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**

<figure><img src="/files/NfmSqd3KJeBFK5SBt2Me" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/ylR3lINATy7Gp9vecXBw" alt="" width="341"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

> **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](/ios/share-a-file.md). 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.

#### Custom Folder Links

Just like files, you can create a [custom short link](/ios/share-a-file.md#custom-links) 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.
