Folders inside folders aka nested folders or subfolders, here’s how they work

A folder can hold folders. It’s easy to imagine how many subfolders you might have in Health, Homework, Travel, Cooking, etc. These display in the “Folders” section above the tabs, each with a count of documents inside it. And, even better, you can invite friends, family or colleagues to collaborate in either a primary folder, or just a single nested folder.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

Steps

1. Open a folder page.
2. Look at the “Folders” section above the tabs.
3. Tap a row to open that folder.
4. Or tap the little down arrow icon on a row to peek at what’s nested inside it, shown indented, right on the same page.
5. Tap the three dots on a row to open the Edit folder box for that one.
6. Tap the section title to collapse the whole section. Qbit remembers that on this device.

Tips

• The count on each row includes everything inside it, so you can see at a glance which folders are getting the most use.

Good to know

Good to know: Folders nest up to four levels deep. At the deepest level, the add folder button takes a well earned rest.
