# Managing Media Files and Folders

> Upload, organize, move, rename, download, and delete files in the Hoop platform media library.

The Hoop media library gives you full control over your digital assets. You can upload new files, organize them in folders, search across your library, and perform bulk actions on multiple files at once.

## Folder actions

### Renaming a folder

To update the name of a folder, select the **three-dot action dropdown** corresponding to the folder and select **Rename**. Enter the new name and confirm to save.

## File size limits

| File type | Maximum size |
| --------- | ------------ |
| Videos    | 4 GB         |
| Documents | 100 MB       |
| Audio     | 100 MB       |
| Images    | 100 MB       |

<Tip>
  Create a folder naming convention before uploading large volumes of files — for example: `[Year]-[Month]-[Purpose]`. This makes searching and bulk management much easier as your library grows.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens to files inside a folder when I delete the folder?">
    Deleting a folder moves the folder and all its contents — including files and subfolders — to the trash. Files can be individually restored from the trash within 30 days.
