Organizing Your Media

Storydump reads media from your Google Drive. How you organize your folders determines your content categories and posting mix.

Folder structure = categories

Storydump treats each subfolder in your root media folder as a category. Here's the recommended structure:

My Instagram Stories/          ← root folder
├── memes/                     ← category: "memes"
│   ├── funny-cat.jpg
│   ├── monday-mood.png
│   └── ...
├── products/                  ← category: "products"
│   ├── new-tshirt.jpg
│   ├── sale-banner.png
│   └── ...
├── behind-the-scenes/         ← category: "behind-the-scenes"
│   ├── studio-shot.jpg
│   └── ...
└── announcements/             ← category: "announcements"
    ├── holiday-hours.png
    └── ...

Image requirements

  • Aspect ratio: 9:16 (1080x1920 ideal)
  • Formats: JPG, PNG, GIF
  • Max size: 100MB per file
Don't worry about getting everything perfect. Storydump validates each file and will tell you which ones need attention.

Category mixing

Storydump distributes posts across your categories based on ratios you define. For example:

  • 70% memes
  • 20% products
  • 10% announcements

You can adjust these ratios anytime from Telegram using the settings menu.

How many files do you need?

  • Minimum: ~30 files for a week of posting (3/day × 7 days + buffer)
  • Ideal: 100+ for good variety

Storydump tracks what's been posted and cycles through your library evenly — never-posted content always goes first.

Tips

  • Keep filenames descriptive — they show up when reviewing posts in Telegram
  • Remove content you'd never want to post — Storydump will try to post everything in the folder
  • You can add or remove files anytime — Storydump syncs automatically
