How to Use Folders on MarketScale

Your No-Frills Way to Organize Media

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Feel like you’re drowning in assets? Stop wasting time hunting for files. MarketScale’s folders give you a simple, scalable way to tag and find everything—fast.


Why Folders Matter

Think of folders as on-demand labels, not clunky folders on your old computer. Tag one video into unlimited folders without duplicates, so you can:

  • Build a course in minutes → Gather clips, interviews, slide decks, and share them instantly with learners.

  • Run a show or series, no-frills → Tag each episode in one “Series” folder. When it’s time to repurpose, everything’s in one place.

  • Create a forever library → Trade shows, events, B-roll—keep it all in a central, searchable archive.

  • Stop searching, start creating → Filter by name or date to zero-in on what you need—right now.

The result? One platform that replaces scattered drives and siloed tools with a single, self-serve hub.


How to Tag Media to Folders

  • Tag During Upload

    • In the Add to folders field, type an existing folder name or type a new one and press Enter.

    • You can tag one file in multiple folders—no extra storage needed.

    • Hit Start Upload and your asset is live and in the right place.

  • Tag After Upload (2 clicks)

    • Find the asset on your home feed or dashboard.

    • Click Add to folder + on the media card.

    • Type or pick a folder name and press Enter.

Easy: Change your mind later? Just click the “X” next to any folder tag to remove it.


Navigate Folder View—Zero Clutter, All Control

Open Folder View

  • Click the folder icon near your profile picture.

  • See every folder your team has built—each tile shows name, date created, and number of items.

Inside a Folder

  • Click any tile to preview all tagged media.

  • Want to edit or share? You can jump straight into Studio or shoot a batch to the editor.

Search & Sort

  • Search Bar → Type part of any folder name and hit Enter to find it instantly.

  • Sort Dropdown → Choose Date Created, Last Modified, or Name (A–Z) so you’re always looking at what matters now.

Scalable: Even if you have 50+ folders, sorting keeps you from scrolling forever.

Favorites, Rename, Merge, Delete

  • Star a Folder → Your top folders live under “Favorites” at the top of Folder View.

  • Rename → Click the three dots on any tile, type a new name, and hit Enter—tags update everywhere.

  • Merge → Select multiple tiles, click Merge, and watch MarketScale roll all media into one folder—old tags disappear.

  • Delete → Remove a folder tile without deleting the underlying media. Your files stay safe in Media Studio.

Flexible: Folders aren’t permanent. Rename, merge, or delete anytime—your media never melts.


Batch-Send for Editing (One-Click Workflow)

  1. Select Folders in Folder View.

  2. Click Request Edit from Folders.

  3. Fill out the quick form: style guide, orientation, added B-roll, vibe, length.

  4. Submit → All that media is now queued for editing, no manual pick-and-choose required.

Turnkey: Send an entire series, course, or campaign to production, all at once.


5. Pro Tips for Folder Mastery

  • Name It Right: Short, clear names win. Examples:

    • Q3_Product_Launch

    • Trade_Show_2025

    • Social_Video_Batch

  • Tag Smarter, Not Harder: If a clip fits two projects—say “Season 3 Promo” and “Holiday 2025”—tag it in both. No duplicates.

  • Star Your Daily Drivers: Got a folder you touch every day? Star it. It stays at the top.

  • Clean House Monthly: Merge or delete one-off folders. Rename confusing ones. Keep the grid lean.

  • Archive Old Stuff: Rename stale folders to include “_ARCHIVE” so they don’t clutter your active view.
