We’ve rolled out a major upgrade to the File Manager designed to give you more control, less setup time, and clearer client experiences – especially when onboarding new accounts.

🚀 What’s new

Flexible File Sorting

You now have full control over how files are ordered:

  • Sort by Name or Upload Date (ascending or descending)
  • Use Custom Order with drag-and-drop
  • Starred files have their own dedicated order
  • Recent files always show newest first

Clients always see the order you choose—and can’t change it.

Folder-Level Client Access

Each folder can now be configured with explicit client permissions:

  • Full Access – upload, rename, delete, and create folders
  • View Only – view and download files only
  • Hidden – completely hidden from clients

This gives you precise control over what clients can see and interact with.

Default File Module

You can now define a default file and folder structure that’s automatically applied to every new account you create.

Set it up once, and each new account starts with:

  • Pre-built folders
  • Pre-uploaded files and templates
  • Your preferred order and layout
  • Client access settings already in place

Perfect for standard deliverables, onboarding assets, and internal workflows.

Important to know

  • The Default File Module applies only to new accounts created after it’s configured
  • Existing accounts are never modified
  • Hidden folders never surface files into Starred or Recent views

You can manage everything from Company Settings → Default File Module.

This update is all about faster onboarding, cleaner organization, and fewer client questions. As always, we’d love your feedback as you put it to use.
