Files, preview & bulk actions

Uploading, web vs original, versions, the full-screen preview and working with many items at once.

Upload files

Open a folder and press Upload (or drag and drop files into the folder). Uploads run in the background — you can keep working and watch progress in the upload bar.

Web vs Original download

Every file can be downloaded as a web version (optimized and lighter, with the folder watermark if enabled) or as the untouched original.

Add to folder vs Copy

Add to folder links the same file into another folder without duplicating it — edits and tags stay shared. Copy to folder creates a real, independent duplicate.

Move / Remove from folder

Move to folder relocates files. Inside a folder, Remove from folder takes files out of that folder without deleting them from Nivlo.

Favorite

Use the star icon on a file (or the bulk action) to add it to your personal Favorites list, reachable from your account menu.

Filter by type

The Files page shows quick filters (Images, Videos, Audio, Documents, Fonts, Other) with live counts — tick any combination to narrow the list.

Grid / list view

The round button at the top-right of Folders and Files pages switches between grid and list layout. Your choice is remembered.


File preview

Click any file to open the full-screen preview.

Browse

Use the arrows (or arrow keys) to move between files in the same folder without closing the preview.

Actions panel

From the side panel you can download (web or original), add to favorites, share the file, manage its tags inline, or upload a new version.

Upload new version

Replaces the file content while keeping its place, links and history. Useful for revised deliverables — the file keeps the same identity.

Edit images

For images, the Edit tab opens a built-in editor where you can adjust the image and download the result.

Comments

The Comments tab lets your team discuss a specific file right where the file lives.


Selecting & bulk actions

Most operations can be applied to many items at once.

Select items

Inside a folder, Select all is the first button in the actions row, next to Download and Share. On the Folders and Files pages, use the round checkmark next to the page title. You can also tick the checkmark on individual cards. A side menu opens automatically with the available actions.

Bulk menu

Depending on what is selected you can: download (web/original), share, move, copy, merge folders, add or remove tags, toggle favorites, or delete. The menu shows folder actions and file actions separately when both are selected.

Exit options

Press Exit options at the bottom of the menu (or clear the selection) to close it.
