Follow these simple steps to create secure folders with controlled access for your team.
Start by creating a new folder in your Snapied workspace where you'll store your images, templates, or other design assets.
Click the "+" button in your workspace and select "New Folder" from the dropdown menu. Give your folder a descriptive name that clearly identifies its purpose.
By default, new folders are set to "Personal" visibility, meaning only you can access them. To change this:
Right-click on the folder and select "Visibility Settings" from the context menu. You'll see three options: Personal, Team, and Workspace. Select the appropriate level based on who needs access to these assets.
Once your folder is created with the right visibility settings, you can start adding your design assets:
Upload images, templates, and other design files by dragging and dropping them into the folder or using the upload button. You can also create new designs directly within the folder.
Keep your folders organized and adjust access as needed:
Create subfolders for better organization, use descriptive names, and adjust visibility settings at any time as your project requirements change. You can also monitor who has access to each folder from the folder properties panel.

Get answers to common questions about setting up and managing private folders in Snapied.
To change the visibility of an existing folder in Snapied, right-click on the folder and select "Visibility Settings" from the context menu. You'll see three options: Personal (only you can access), Team (all members in your current workspace can access), and Workspace (available across all workspaces you own). Select your preferred option, and the changes will take effect immediately.
Yes, Snapied allows you to set different visibility levels for each folder and subfolder independently. This gives you granular control over your design assets. For example, you could have a main folder with Team visibility that contains subfolders with Personal visibility for work-in-progress designs. Each folder's visibility setting is managed separately through the context menu.
Snapied provides visual indicators that show the current visibility status of each folder. Look for the icon next to the folder name: a single person icon indicates Personal visibility, a group icon shows Team visibility, and a building icon represents Workspace visibility. You can also hover over these icons to see a tooltip with more details about who can access the folder.
Yes, Snapied supports batch updates for visibility settings. To change multiple folders at once, hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) while clicking to select multiple folders, then right-click and choose "Visibility Settings" from the context menu. The change will apply to all selected folders. This is particularly useful when reorganizing your workspace or updating access for a new project phase.
When you change a folder's visibility settings, any existing shared links will be affected according to the new permissions. If you change a folder from Team to Personal visibility, team members who previously had access through shared links will no longer be able to access those resources. Snapied will display a warning before you make visibility changes that affect existing shares, allowing you to confirm your decision.
Snapied does not impose specific limits on the number of folders you can create with different visibility settings. The total number of folders you can create depends on your subscription plan's storage allocation. Free plans typically have some storage limitations, while paid plans offer expanded storage capabilities. You can check your current storage usage in your account settings.
