How to add and manage folders

Folder hierarchy

In ProofHub, you have the ability to organize your uploaded files into a hierarchy of folders.

Folder hierarchy in ProofHub's Files section

  1. Project files: By default, the “Project files” folder is displayed, and any additional folders you create are nested within this main folder. You have the flexibility to create folders within folders to any desired depth.
  2. Tree-like structure: The folder arrangement follows a tree structure, with the “Project files” folder serving as the base or root. To access files within a specific folder, simply click on the folder name.
  3. All files: If you wish to view all files irrespective of the folder they have been added into, you can do so using the “All files”.
  4. Search and add folders: You can use the magnifying glass icon to search for folders and subfolders. Clicking on the “+” icon allows you to add folders and subfolders.
