Creating a folder

Folders and organising

Creating a folder; Renaming a file or folder.

  1. Open the folder you want the new one to live inside.
  2. Click New folder.
  3. Type a name and confirm.

The folder appears immediately and can be opened, renamed, moved or deleted like any other.

Note: Folders cost nothing against your storage. Only the bytes of actual files are counted.

Renaming a file or folder

Renaming changes the name only — links, playback and downloads all continue to work.

Use the pencil action on a row, type the new name, and confirm. Torrents frequently produce names nobody would choose, so this is worth doing early.

Keep the extension

gettor decides whether a file can play in the browser from its type, and the extension is part of how that type was determined when the file was stored. Renaming a .mkv to .mp4 does not convert anything — it only makes the name misleading.

Note: Renaming does not move the file, does not change its size, and does not affect a download that is already running.
