Organizing Your Media

Each folder you connect is a group of its own: everything inside it syncs, at any depth, and the group can carry a share of your posts. To weight two kinds of content separately, connect them as two folders — subfolders inside a connected folder are just structure. Rename folders freely; the weight follows the folder.

├── events/                    ← connect this folder  (group "events", 70%)
│   ├── 2025/

│   └── photo-04.png
└── tips/                      ← connect this folder  (group "tips", 30%)

• Aspect ratio: 9:16 (1080x1920 ideal). Other shapes are framed to fit, never cropped.
• Formats: images and videos
• Max size: 8 MB per image, 40 MB per video

On the web, open Settings → General → Posting mix. Each connected folder gets one of three settings:

• Weight: a fixed share, like 70% events and 30% tips. Weights add up to 100.
• Automatic: posts in proportion to how many files the folder holds.
• Off: stays synced but never posts.

Split evenly gives every folder the same share. Change the mix anytime; it applies from the next posting slot. Workspace admins can edit it.

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

Storydump tracks what's been posted. In each folder, files that have never been posted go first, then whatever has waited longest.

• Keep filenames descriptive — they show up in your Queue on the web
• Remove content you'd never want to post — Storydump will try to post everything in the folder. To keep a folder synced without posting from it, set it to Off.
• You can add or remove files anytime — Storydump syncs on its own, and Sync Now in Settings → Integrations pulls changes in right away
