Folder Browse Mode

Problem

Users with deeply nested folder structures need to navigate directories visually rather than using file dialogs.

Solution

Directories appear as clickable grid cells. Click a folder cell to descend into it; breadcrumb navigation at the top lets you jump back to any parent level. This turns the grid into a kiosk-style file browser.

Tier Availability

  • Free: Not available.
  • Plus / Pro: Full folder browse with breadcrumb navigation.

UI Flow

  1. Enable Folder Browse from the View menu or toolbar.
  2. Subfolders appear as labeled cells in the grid.
  3. Click a folder cell to enter it and view its contents.
  4. Use the breadcrumb bar to navigate back up the hierarchy.

Known Limitations

  • Only media-containing folders are shown; empty folders and non-media directories are hidden.
  • Deep hierarchies may require multiple clicks to reach target content.

Marketing One-Liner

Navigate your folder structure as clickable grid cells with breadcrumb navigation — kiosk-style browsing built into the grid.
