Kaltura My Media – Folders
Folders let you organize your personal My Media repository. You can create folders, build nested structures, and move your media into them for easier access and management. Your folders are private and visible only to you.

Towards the top left of My Media page you’ll see a My folders section as well as an Unfiled media folder. This shows all media items not yet placed inside any folder. As you organize your media into folders, those items will no longer appear in Unfiled media.
Creating Folders
Inside My Media go to the right of the My folders section and click the add icon (+).

The ‘Create folder’ window will open.

Enter a name for your folder (required) and in the Choose Location section, choose My Folders if this is your first folder. If this is not your first folder, you’ll see a list of your existing folders and subfolders. Select where you’d like to place the new folder by choosing a location from the list and then click Create to create the folder.

A confirmation message displays and your new folder appears in your My folders section.

Repeat these steps to create any more folders.
Folder Limit
You can create up to a maximum total of 500 folders. This is cumulative with subfolders.
Creating Subfolders
Similar to folders start by clicking the add icon (+) in the My folders section.

Enter a folder name (folder names must be unique within the same location, but you can reuse the same name in different branches) and in the Choose folder location section, select the parent folder where you want to place your new folder.

Click Save. A confirmation message displays and your new subfolder appears inside the parent folder.

Subfolder limit
You can create subfolders up to a limit of three levels.
