XCmdr allows you to organize your Media Library into folders or categories. Keeping your Media Library organized is essential, and this plugin will assist you in categorizing your images. To create a category, navigate to Media > Categories and set up a new category. Then, head to Media > Library to move your images into the designated category.
When you add or edit an image in the Media Library, you can choose the category or categories for that image.

Drag and drop multiple files 
You can bulk select and drag & drop many files at once to put them in a destination folder. Folders can be bulk selected as well.
SVG support 
Simply enable uploading SVG and other vector file types with sanitization included!
Remember recently opened folder 
CatFolders comes with a variety of options to decide which folder to be opened on your first visit. You can choose to get back to your most recent folder, or always back to a specific folder, such as “Uncategorized” or “All files.”
Collapsible folder sidebar 
The sidebar reserved for the folder tree can be collapsed so that you can have the full-screen view of the WP media library when needed.
Upload files to a specific folder 
The enhanced media library uploader allows you to choose a folder first and then upload multiple files from your computer to that folder. You can also bulk-upload many folders from your storage to WordPress media library in a single drag-and-drop.
Works with Grid & List view 
All files in a selected folder are sortable in list mode, which means you can easily sort your file list by file name, author, date, and custom post type to which they are uploaded. 
In grid mode, CatFolders works great both in the media library and the page/post editor. This helps you choose the media files you need for the work-in-progress content much faster than working with an unorganized media library.
API for developers 
REST APIs allow external plugins to perform specific actions, such as getting folder structure or triggering automated tasks.

<h3>😻 WHAT’S THERE IN WP MEDIA FOLDERS PRO?</h3>
Advanced sort options 
Once upgraded, you can sort files by file name, created date, modified date, author, newest or oldest, etc. Whether you want to sort files and folders by default or temporarily, there’s always a sorting method for you.
Create subfolders 
Each subfolder is a child of the parent folder above it. With <a href="https://wpmediafolders.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">CatFolders Pro</a>, a main folder can hold unlimited subfolders. The parent/child analogy helps you organize your files more efficiently. It’s very easy to hide or show all folders below the selected folder.
