Sawir Media Folders

Sawir Media Folders is a WordPress plugin designed to help users organize their media library by creating folders and subfolders. It allows for unlimited folders and subfolders without any imposed caps or upsells. The plugin is built to be efficient, with the entire folder tree loading through just two database queries, regardless of the size of the media library. Filtering within the tool utilizes WordPress’s native media query system. Folders in Sawir Media Folders are implemented as a virtual taxonomy, meaning that physical media files are never moved on the server. This approach ensures that file URLs remain unchanged, preventing broken links. Deleting a folder within the plugin does not delete the files it contains, further safeguarding media assets. The folder structure is accessible in the Media Library grid view, where a drag-and-drop panel displays the full folder tree. This panel does not appear in the list view. The same folder tree is available in media modals such as the post editor, featured image selector, and gallery builder, where it is docked on the left side of the file browser. On small screens, the folder tree panel is hidden. The plugin provides an 'All files' view to display every media item, as well as an 'Uncategorized' section for files not assigned to any folder. Folder counts include files contained within subfolders. Sawir Media Folders does not specify any pricing or licensing details in the available evidence. This tool is intended for WordPress users who need a way to better organize and manage their media libraries through a folder-based system, particularly those who work with large numbers of media files and require a fast, safe, and non-destructive organizational method.
