At a glance
Photo folder organisation connects a readable destination structure with the project, shoot and card that produced the files. Use the preview to check the structure, then use folder records to trace the actual copies.

See the copy workflow in motion
The short demo introduces source cards, copy destinations and status tracking. Use the screenshots and steps below to understand the decisions behind each stage.
Read the status of each copy separately, then open the detailed record when a destination needs attention.
Turn shoot details into a folder structure
A photo folder organiser helps a studio use the same structure across repeated shoots. Copy Photo can build folders from year, month, event, shoot, crew, camera, card, device and copy details. This gives the people copying and editing a shared way to locate source files.
Preview before you save
Choose automatic folder creation, reorder the levels and add custom folders where needed. Review the preview before saving your pattern. If a job requires a different destination, the manual folder option lets the operator choose the location for that copy.
Keep project and shoot sequences consistent
Sequence IDs add codes to project and shoot folder names. Configure prefixes and numbering to fit your existing workflow. Consistent naming makes it easier to distinguish similar assignments and understand which folder belongs to which shoot.
Use folder history when the same card has more than one destination
The Folders view keeps source and destination context together with the crew member and shoot. Additional-location records help distinguish the places a card was copied. Use those details during an editing handoff so the team opens the intended working copy rather than an incomplete or older location. The screenshots use demo data and conceal private machine paths.
A folder path shows a location, not the health of a backup
Finding a destination folder does not confirm that every intended file is present or verified. Review its copy counts, status and verification details alongside the folder location.
