CREATING A FOLDER IN A DOCUMENT LIBRARY

Creating folder in a SharePoint document library is one way to group and manage files. You can create folders from your device when syncing or from the command bar on the web.

CREATE A FOLDER IN SHAREPOINT

1.       Go to the SharePoint site, and where you want to create a new folder, opentheSharePoint document library.


2.       On the menu bar, select + New, and then select Folder If you don't have folders as an option on the + New menu, they may be turned off. A library owner or a user with design permissions can enable the Folder command. For more info, see Turn folders on in SharePoint.

3.       In the Folder dialog, enter a folder name in the Folder Name box, and then select Create.




When done, you should see your new folder in the document library and can start adding files or creating subfolders within it. To add a new file, see Create a new file in a document library. To upload existing files, see Upload files and folders to a document library.

.       If you don't see your new folder in the library, refresh your browser. In some cases, you might  consider using views instead off orders. You can filter, group, and sort files in views. If you have a large library, a combination of views and folders might work best.
