Folder improved

Folder improved

Rethinking folders – more freedom, less hassle. From now on, folders in the Photoclub are exactly what they should be: a simple organizational tool for your profile. No technical detours, no mandatory fields, no restrictions. The entire folder system has been revamped to give you greater control over how your photos are displayed, while making the system behind the scenes much smarter.

Folders are just for organization

You can now organize your photos into as many custom folders as you like within your profile. Folders no longer affect categories or visibility; they simply help you create order, structure, and thematic connections within your profile.

Dedicated folder tab in your profile

There’s now a separate "Folders" tab in your profile. This clearly displays a member’s photo folders, keeping them distinct from the rest of the profile content. Visitors can immediately see how your portfolio is organized.

Categories assigned automatically per photo

When creating a folder, you no longer need to assign a public category for the photos inside to appear in the gallery. Instead, categories are automatically assigned to each photo. This means all your photos now automatically appear in the public categories without any extra effort on your part.

16+ and 18+ content

Explicit content already in your profile folders will now be hidden there as well. Newly uploaded 16+ photos will automatically be published in the 16+ galleries. The system handles categorization and initial hiding of sensitive images automatically. It is no longer possible to bypass the 16+ or 18+ galleries by uploading or moving photos into profile folders.

No more tags needed

Tags are no longer required when creating folders. Content is found through folder and photo titles and descriptions, improving discoverability while reducing maintenance effort.

Sorting and custom display

Within a folder, you can now sort your photos by various criteria and freely arrange them using drag & drop. This lets you decide the order your photos appear in the folder and which image is shown as the folder cover in the overview. For example, you can upload a special cover graphic for your photo folder and use it as the folder cover.

Current status and outlook

At the moment, moving photos into, out of, or between folders after the fact is not yet possible. This feature is planned and will be added in a future update. However, even then, it won’t be possible to move 16+ photos into publicly accessible folders. Many thanks to all Premium members who make these structural improvements possible. If you like these enhancements, supporting the Photoclub with a Premium membership helps us continue to develop and improve the platform.
