Filters

Filter a folder by file type (folders, documents, pictures, music, videos, archives).

Filters (by file type)

Filters are a fast way to narrow a busy folder without changing your folder structure.

Available filters:

  • All items
  • Folders
  • Documents
  • Pictures
  • Music
  • Videos
  • Archives

When to use filters

  • “show me only images” in an assets folder
  • “only archives” in Downloads
  • quick triage: move the good stuff, delete the junk, stop scrolling

A small trick

Filters pair well with sorting. Example: Pictures + Date modified.

Tips that save time

  • Filters don’t move or hide files permanently - they only change what’s visible in the current view.
  • Combine filters with search when a folder is huge:
    • filter first (e.g. Documents)
    • then search within the reduced set
