Folders in Athena provide a hierarchical structure for organizing your assets, similar to traditional file systems. They support parent-child relationships, allowing you to create nested folder structures that match your organizational needs.
Key Features
- Hierarchical Organization: Create nested folder structures to organize assets logically
- User Sandbox: Each user has a protected sandbox folder (
sandbox/{username}/) for personal assets - Sharing & Permissions: Control who can view and edit folder contents
- Asset Management: Move assets between folders with drag-and-drop or bulk operations
Creating Folders
1
Create a folder
Go to Spaces and click on the + icon. Select Folder from the menu.
2
Name your folder
Give your folder a descriptive name and click on Create Folder.
3
Organize Assets
Drag and drop assets into your folder, or use the context menu to move multiple assets at once.
Folder Structure
Folders can contain:- Assets: Documents, sheets, notebooks, and other file types
- Subfolders: Create nested hierarchies for complex organization
- Live Assets: Files from external providers like SharePoint or Google Drive
Your personal sandbox folder is automatically created and provides a private space for your assets. Other users cannot access your sandbox unless you explicitly share assets from it.
