Content Folders
Media folder organization and permissions
TelemetryOS organizes uploaded media into folders for grouping related content. Media organization requires shared media status. Playlist tabs display media folder sizes equal to or greater than 999MB.
Media Folder Creation
Media folders are created through the Media Repository accessed via the Media menu option under CONTENT.
The + Add Folder icon next to the Media page selection initiates folder creation.
Folder Hierarchy
Media folders support nested structures:
| Folder Level | Description | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Root Folder | Top-level default location | Primary folder organization |
| Parent Folders | Contains other folders | Hierarchical grouping (department, location, type) |
| Nested Folders | Folders within parent folders | Multi-level content organization |
Uploaded media becomes accessible throughout the TelemetryOS interface for playlist and Application use.
Group Folder Permissions
Media folder access permissions are managed through Group Permissions icons appearing in both Create New Folder and Edit Folder dialogs. Group access controls use toggleable permission settings.
Group permissions control folder access at three levels:
| Permission Level | View | Modify | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Read Access | ✅ | ❌ | View-only access for content consumers |
| Write Access | ✅ | ✅ | Full access for content creators |
| No Access | ❌ | ❌ | Complete restriction for isolated content |
Permissions for Application FoldersThe same permissions options are available for Application Folders.
