File Manager: Upload, Organize & Optimize

Complete Control Over Your Media

The SynaptikCMS File Manager is your central hub for all media assets. A really easy drag & drop tool to make your life and your media and folder organization easier.

Uploading Files

Upload files by clicking the upload button or simply dragging and dropping from your desktop. Multiple files can be uploaded simultaneously.

Your files will be uploaded into whatever folder you are currently viewing. For instance, if you are currently viewing the folder /files/vacations/europe-2026/, and you upload more pictures, then this is where your newly-uploaded pictures will go.

Folder Organization

Create folders to organize your media logically. Navigate through folders with the breadcrumb navigation, and move files between folders with drag-and-drop.

If you accidentally uploaded pictures to the wrong folder, no worries! You can batch-select them with your cursor, then move them later on.

ℹ️
Note that you can move your files in parent folder by dropping them onto the breadcrumbs up top.

Automatic Optimization

When enabled in Settings, uploaded images are automatically optimized – resized, compressed, and optionally converted to WebP format.

Grid and List Views

Switch between grid view (with visual thumbnails) and list view (with detailed file information).

File Actions

Right-click any file or folder to access the context menu with options to rename, move, delete, copy path, or download.
