Creating, organising, and sharing folders in MyFiles helps keep resources structured and easily accessible for pupils, classes, or colleagues. When you share a folder, recipients can view and access the files, but only the folder owner can edit or add new items to it. 


If you’d like to create a collaborative folder that allows multiple users to contribute and manage content, you can send a folder to the Staffroom. [Find more information on collaborative folders here.] 



  1. Create a folder
    • Go to the MyFiles area from your j2launchpad.
    • Click the folder icon at the top-right of the screen.
    • Enter a folder name in the popup window and click ok.
    • Your new folder will now appear in your MyFiles list.
  2. Add files to your folder
    • Locate the files you want to add. 
    • Drag and drop them into the folder. 
    • Alternatively, you can copy and paste (right click > copy > open folder > right click > paste)
  3. Share your folder
    • Hover over the folder and click the inspector button (green “i” icon in the top-right corner). 
    • Click the Share button. 
    • Choose how you’d like to share: 
      • Specific users 
      • A class 
      • The whole school
    • Alternatively: 
      • Copy the folder link 
      • Send the link via email 




Once shared, the folder will appear in the recipient’s Shared Files tile:
