Folders

Organise your documents in nested folders; you'll find what you're looking for even with 100 folders.

1. 1On the Folders tab, tap the "New folder" row at the top of the list and give it a name. Inside a folder, the "New subfolder" row in the same place creates a folder inside it; "New subfolder" in the folder's ⋮ menu does the same.
2. 2To move a document, document menu (⋮) › Move › choose the target folder ("Library (root)" is the top level).
3. 3Pin a folder you use often: the folder's ⋮ menu › Pin. A pinned folder shows a pin icon.
4. 4The Folders tab holds your whole archive: "Pinned" at the top and "All folders" below. The "Search folders" box searches names at every level, subfolders included, and shows where the folder is ("Company papers › 2026"). Sort: By title, Recently used, Document count, Date added.
5. 5Inside a folder there's a path bar at the top: "Library › Company papers › 2026"; tap a part to go back there.

The folder strip on Home stays on one line: pinned first, then your most recently used folders, at most 8. "All · N" next to the heading opens the Folders tab.

The number on a folder chip or row counts all documents, including those in subfolders ("Company papers · 10"; on the row "10 documents · 2 folders · 3 days ago"); a folder whose documents are only in subfolders doesn't look empty. Deleting a folder doesn't delete its documents; its contents move to the parent folder. Scans go to the "Scans" folder automatically.

Everywhere you choose a document, the same "Choose a document" page opens (PDF tools, Sign, Exam maker, Organize pages › Pick from library, Add to existing document in the scanner): browse folders, search, sort (Recently opened, By title, Date added, Size) and filter by type.

Pins and folders sync to all your devices via Drive.

On the web, desktop habits work too: right-clicking a document or folder (the same as ⋮ at the end of the row) opens a menu: for a document, a quick row Read · Listen · Share · Move · Delete, then Select, Rename, Tags, Favorite, Read, and the "PDF tools and signing" / "More" submenus; for a folder, Open folder, Subfolder, Rename, Move, Pin, Delete (folders in the tree too). Multi-select: Ctrl-click (⌘ on Mac) one by one, Shift for a range, Ctrl+A for all visible documents, or the "Select" button in the header; with a selection, the bar at the bottom has Select all, Move, Add to favorites, Merge, Share, Tags, Delete, and selected documents are dragged together. Keyboard: F2 renames the selected document, Delete moves it to the Trash (asking first), Esc leaves the selection.

On the web the View picker (the four icons next to Sort) shows the document list in four layouts: Compact list (icon, name and "pages · size · type" on one line; the most documents at a glance), List (two-column cards, the default), Details (a table: Name, Type, Pages, Size, Added, Last opened; click a column heading to sort by it, click again to reverse; on narrow screens only Name, Pages and Size remain) and Covers (3:4 covers with the name and pages below). The same things work in every layout: click opens, right-click and ⋮ open the menu, Ctrl/Shift or Select for multi-select, drag and drop. Your layout and sort are remembered and go to your other devices via Drive (folderView/folderSort in settings.json). On Android the same four layouts are in the View menu in the Library (see above).
