A closer look at the features that move the needle.
Move files around just like on your computer. Multi-select with shift, drag with your mouse, drop into folders. The desktop experience your WordPress media library has been missing.
Organize 100 files or 100,000. Folderly handles deeply nested trees with thousands of folders without a hint of slowdown — your wp-admin stays snappy.
Switch to Folderly without losing a single folder. One-click importers preserve your existing structure from FileBird, Real Media Library, Wicked Folders, and more.
Drop hundreds of files at once. Folderly auto-routes them into the active folder. Resumable uploads survive network blips, with per-file progress and error reporting.
Folderly isn't just for the standard media library. Sort and filter attachments tied to WooCommerce products, real estate listings, portfolios, courses, or any custom post type (CPT) registered on your site — each with its own folder tree, permissions, and search index.
Wide folders, deep trees, thousands of thumbnails — Folderly's grid view and clickable breadcrumbs make traversing your WordPress media library feel as natural as Google Drive or Dropbox. Jump up four levels in a single click, then flip to list view for quick scanning.
Folderly hooks into the standard WordPress media library — so it shows up in every page builder you already use, and imports cleanly from every folder plugin you've outgrown.
