The Best Way to Organize Media Files in Umbraco

Imagine this scenario:

You’re wrapping up a blog post on your Umbraco-powered site.

You must upload a few images, maybe a video, to make the content pop.

But instead of a quick upload, you’re stuck scrolling through a chaotic media library.

Folders are mislabeled (or missing altogether), files are duplicated, and you can’t find the necessary assets.

Frustrated, you spend an extra 20 minutes digging through the mess.

Sound familiar?

Now multiply that across your team of editors.

Hours wasted. Deadlines missed. Costs climbing.

This is the reality for many Umbraco users. But it doesn’t have to be yours.

Here’s What’s Probably Holding You Back

• Disorganized Media Libraries: Your library looks like a junk drawer - random and hard to navigate.
• Time-Consuming File Searches: Editors waste time hunting for the right files.
• Manual Folder Creation: Repeatedly creating folders for new content is tedious and error-prone.
• Orphaned Media Files: Deleted content leaves stray files behind, creating more clutter.
• Performance Issues: Large, unorganized libraries slow down the CMS.
• Onboarding Challenges: New team members struggle to find their way around.

Meet Your New Best Friend: The Dedicated Media Folder Package

This simple but powerful tool turns your messy media section into a model of efficiency.

Let’s break it down:

• Automatic Folder Structure: Every content node gets its own dedicated folder. No manual effort. No mistakes.
• One-Click Navigation: Jump straight to the right folder every time - no more aimless searching.
• Integrated Across Umbraco: Whether it’s the Rich Text Editor, Grid, or Block List, it works seamlessly.
• Time Savings That Add Up: Save up to 20% of your time, so your team can focus on creating, not managing.

How It Works: A Real-Life Example

Let’s say you’re adding a new blog post to your site:

1. You start by opening the media picker for your post.
2. Click “Create Dedicated Media Folder.” Bam! A perfectly named folder appears, linked directly to the content node.
3. Upload your files - images, videos, PDFs - they’re all automatically organized in the right place.
4. Need to add more files later? Just click “Go to Dedicated Media Folder.”

No clutter. No confusion. Everything is where it belongs, every time.
