KooKoa

KooKoa Folders adds a folder sidebar to the WordPress Media Library. You can create folders, nest them into subfolders, and move files around with drag and drop. It also ships with unlimited smart folders that auto-populate from rules you define — file type, size, date, dimensions, tags, and more — so the library stays tidy as it grows.

Folders are virtual. They are stored as a private WordPress taxonomy and attached to your media items, so your files on disk are never moved and existing image URLs keep working. If you deactivate the plugin your Media Library keeps running as if nothing happened.

<h4>🔁 Migrate from other folder plugins</h4>
Already using another folder plugin? Switch in one click. KooKoa Folders detects existing folder structures directly from your database and rebuilds the full tree inside the KooKoa sidebar — with file assignments intact, no JSON export, no rebuilding from scratch.
Supported sources:
<ul>
<li>FileBird (Ninja Team)</li>
<li>Folders (Premio)</li>
<li>Real Media Library (devowl.io)</li>
</ul>
A subtle hint inside the Media Library surfaces the importer when one of these plugins is detected, so you find it without going hunting through Settings. After a successful import, the source plugin can be deactivated with one button — your KooKoa folder structure keeps living independently.

<h4>💻 Use cases</h4>
A few real-world setups where KooKoa Folders earns its keep:
<ul>
<li>Bloggers and content writers — keep every blog image, post screenshot, hero photo, video clip and audio file inside dedicated media folders. Drag and drop assets between folders, filter the media library by folder, and find the right image for tomorrow’s article in seconds instead of scrolling past 2,000 thumbnails.</li>
<li>WordPress photographers and photo studios — split your media library by shoot type (portraits, weddings, real estate, landscapes, nature, family), by client, by year, or by location. Pin your active project to the top, lock the archive against accidental edits, and let smart folders auto-collect images by date, file size or alt text.</li>
<li>WooCommerce shop owners and e-commerce managers — organize product images into folders that mirror your catalog (apparel, footwear, accessories, electronics). Drag and drop new product photos straight from upload into the right SKU folder, and use smart folders to auto-group every PNG, JPEG or WebP above a certain size for quality audits.</li>
<li>Web designers, web developers and freelance agencies — separate site assets per project, per page section or per client (logos, mockups, illustrations, icon sets, screenshots). Folder colors and custom icons turn the media library into a navigable workspace even when you sit on thousands of files.</li>
<li>Online publishers, magazines and editors — file every image per issue, per article, per author or per topic. Smart folders auto-collect everything uploaded this week, this month, or by a specific contributor — no manual sorting needed.</li>
<li>Real estate, hospitality and listings sites — one folder per property or per location, subfolders per room, view or photoshoot. Bulk upload an entire shoot, drag the keepers into the listing folder, and skip the rest. Color-code your busiest property folders so the right one stands out at a glance.</li>
<li>Course creators and membership sites — split lesson screenshots, video thumbnails and downloadable PDFs into folders per course, per module or per lesson. Find the right cover image without scrolling past fifty unrelated lessons.</li>
<li>Marketing agencies, design studios and creative teams — one WordPress Media Library, many clients. A folder per brand keeps work tidy, role-based access keeps clients out of each other’s assets, and the export/import tool ships a folder tree to a new project in a single JSON file.</li>
</ul>
