# How to create a shared folder

## Create Shared Folder

### Overview

The new `Create Shared Folder` action lets primary FenixShare users spin up a brand-new encrypted workspace without leaving the browser. From a single modal you can name the folder, stage initial files, create the share, and land directly in the link with everything queued for upload.

### Who Can Use It

* Available to signed-in **primary users** only; guests will not see the button.
* Requires permission to create shares within your tenant.
* Works for folders backed by the default FenixPyre connector; additional connectors retain their existing creation paths.

### Step-by-Step

1. **Open the sidebar** and select `Create Shared Folder`.

2. **Name the folder** – enter a descriptive title; the `Create Folder` button stays disabled until text is provided.
3. **Select files (optional)** – click anywhere in the upload card to choose multiple files. They appear in a checklist with icons, sizes, and remove controls.

4. **Create the folder** – click `Create Folder`. You will be redirected to the new share link once it’s ready.
5. **Let uploads finish** – on the share link page, queued files upload automatically. The upload widget shows progress so you can continue working.

### Tips & Troubleshooting

* **Change your mind?** Use `Cancel` to reset the modal; the folder name and file queue clear when it closes.
* **Need more files?** After the redirect, drag-and-drop or use the regular `Upload` action inside the share link.
