Complete Guide to Media Storage in Stack

Welcome to your guide on navigating and utilizing the enhanced Media Storage feature in Stack. From uploading and organizing files to improved previews and secure integrations, these updates are designed to streamline your workflow and make it more intuitive.

Table of Contents​

Accessing Media Storage​

To access Media Storage, simply navigate to the left sidebar of your dashboard and click on the Media Storage icon.

Uploading Files​

Uploading files is a breeze with drag-and-drop functionality. Just drag your media from your computer into the Media Storage interface—no buttons required. This enhanced feature ensures a faster, more intuitive upload experience.

You can also upload font files such as .ttf, .otf, .woff, and .woff2 up to 100MB in size. These can be used to customize branding in websites or funnels using Custom CSS.

Sorting Media​

Organize your media library with powerful sorting options:

  • Sort by Name: A to Z / Z to A
  • Sort by Size: Smallest First / Largest First
  • Sort by Modified Date: Newest First / Oldest First

Grid and List View Enhancements​

Toggle between Grid View and List View based on your preference. Both views now offer enhanced metadata visibility:

  • Orientation Badge (Grid View): Displays a badge for Landscape, Portrait, or Square format.
  • Pixel Dimensions (List View): Shows Width × Height values next to each image name for quick suitability assessment.

Note: Older uploaded images may not immediately display dimensions due to background processing delays.

Quick Actions via Right-Click and Hover Menus​

Access file options quickly using the right-click dropdown menu or hover-over quick action buttons. Available actions include:

  • Rename
  • Delete
  • Move to Folder
  • Preview
  • Insert

This feature reduces the need to rely solely on the top navigation bar.

New Insert & Preview Features​

When using Media Storage within products like the website or funnel builder, you'll now find:

  • Insert Media Button: Instantly insert a single file without navigating away.
  • Preview Option: Available from the three-dot menu for quick viewing.
  • Insert Directly from Preview Screen: Eliminates the back-and-forth between views.

Folder Management Upgrades​

You can now move entire folders along with their contents, including nested files and subfolders:

  1. Click the three-dot (⋮) menu next to any folder.
  2. Select Move to Folder.
  3. Choose an existing folder or create a new one.
  4. Confirm the move—everything is relocated together, maintaining subfolders intact for a structured, clutter-free layout.

Trash Functionality for Safer Deletions​

Deleted media files are now moved to Trash, where they remain for 30 days before permanent removal.

  • How to Restore or Delete:
    • Click the three-dot menu on the top right.
    • Select Trash.
    • Choose a file to Restore or Delete Permanently.

⚠️ Files are non-recoverable after 30 days.

Google Drive Integration Enhancements​

Connect Drive now allows importing from Google Drive for owned files only.

⚠️ Important Note: Shared files or shortcuts to shared files are not displayed due to access and permission settings. We recommend creating a copy of the shared file instead of a shortcut to ensure it appears and functions as expected.

Seamless Integration Across Products​

Media Storage is now deeply integrated with other modules. Whether you're editing a funnel or designing a website, media opens via a modal window—not full screen—for a more pleasant, non-intrusive user experience.
