Organize your drive workspace with folders

You can keep projects in your Drive organized and easy to find with folders.

Looking to reuse assets across projects? Creating a folder of shared assets is not yet supported. However, you can save custom layouts or templates as a custom layout pack in Descript. This allows you to easily reuse images, files, styles, and arrangements across different projects.

Creating a folder

You can create folders on your Drive workspace and within other folders. Please note that folders cannot be created in your private workspace. Learn more about workspaces

  1. Open Descript and go to your drive workspace.
  2. From the Drive view of your drive workspace, select New folder in the top right. If you do not see the New folder button, make sure you are viewing your Drive workspace or a folder with your Drive workspace.
  3. Name the folder and select Create Folder.

Star and pin a favorite folder

You can star important folders by clicking the folder icon next to the folder’s name. This will allow the folder to display in the sidebar for quick access.
