Updated over 2 weeks ago

Feeling buried in assets? Folders make your Studio instantly searchable. Tag anything, find it fast, and keep projects moving without digging through drives or Slack threads.


Why Folders Matter

Folders aren’t old-school storage, they’re flexible tags you can drop on any file, instantly:

  • Build courses fast: Pull clips, interviews, and slides into one simple workspace.

  • Run shows easily: Tag every episode into one folder for quick repurposing.

  • Create an unlimited library: Events, B-roll, product shots, all organized and easy to surface.

  • Find files instantly: Search or filter by name or date. No clutter, no wasted time.

MarketScale replaces scattered tools with one scalable, self-serve hub.


How to Tag Media to Folders

There's two ways to Tango:

  1. Tag During Upload

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

    2. You can tag one file in multiple folders. No extra storage needed.

    3. Finish your Upload, and your asset is live and in the right place.

  2. Tag After Upload (2 clicks)

    1. Find the content on your home feed or inbox.

    2. Click Add to folder + on the media card.

    3. Pick a folder (or make a new one) and press Enter.

Pro tip: Changed your mind? Just click the “X” next to any folder tag to remove it.


Navigate the Folder View.

Click the folder icon near your profile picture to see every folder your team has built. Inside a Folder, click any tile to preview all the content in that folder.

Use the Search Bar to type part of any folder name and find it instantly. Or use the Sort Dropdown to choose Date Created, Last Modified, or Name (A–Z) so you’re always looking at what matters for you right now. Even if you have 50+ folders, sorting keeps you from scrolling forever.


Favorites, Rename, Merge, Delete

These features will help you stay organized:

  • 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 folders, click Merge, and watch MarketScale roll all media into one folder while old tags disappear.

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

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


Batch-Send for Editing

Once you've clicked into a folder:

  1. Use the checkboxes to select all the content you want to send to editing.

  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.


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. When in doubt, more Folders is better.

  • 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.
