Tips and troubleshooting
View and performance
Grid vs list: Use grid for visual browsing and drag-and-drop; use list for dense editing and folder dropdowns. Your choice is saved.
Large libraries: Rely on type filter and search to reduce the list size. Infinite scroll loads more as you go; avoid selecting "Select all" on huge result sets for bulk actions (prefer filtering first).
Folder sidebar: Collapse it when you need more space for the grid; expand when you're moving items between folders.
Organization
Folder colors: Use colors for priority or category (e.g. Rose = urgent, Blue = client A). Colors are stored per folder in your browser and update instantly.
Naming: Keep folder names short and consistent (e.g. "2026-01", "Campaigns") so breadcrumb and sidebar stay readable.
Bulk move: Select multiple items and use "Move to folder" once instead of moving one by one.
Upload and move
Target folder: Always select the destination folder in the sidebar before uploading or dropping files so new uploads land in the right place.
Drag-and-drop: If a drop doesn't work, check that you're dropping on a folder (card or sidebar row) or on "All Media". Not on empty grid space. For folders, drop on "All Media" or another folder to reparent.
No page reload: All moves and folder changes update the list in place. If you don't see changes, refresh once; if it persists, check the browser console for API errors.
When to use WP mode
Use WP mode when you need a plugin that only runs on the WordPress upload screen (e.g. certain image optimizers or legacy workflows). For normal organizing, uploading, and editing metadata, stay in FleekDash Media.
Errors and refresh
"Results outside folder": If you search and see this message, click it to view all search results across folders.
Counts or list out of date: After bulk moves or deletes from another tab, refresh the page to resync folder counts and the list.
Upload fails: Check file type and size (limits are set by WordPress). If one file fails, others in the same batch may still succeed; check the upload zone for per-file errors.
