Tip: All files and folders in a folder are sorted alphabetically as default. If you want to set a specific sorting order you could choose to name your folders e.g.
01. folder name
02. folder name
03. folder name
etc.


Layout options

All users can choose between Grid, Large Grid, List, and Large List layout from the Change layout menu in the Main Window.

Choose Cover thumbnails if you want the thumbnails to fill out the frames in Gallery view. Depending on your files sometimes it looks better, sometimes it doesn't. See the difference below.

Notice: Users with permission to "Manage folder settings" can change the default sorting order and default view and Cover thumbnail setting on folder level, in the edit folder menuThis could be useful, for example, if you prefer to have your newest files shown first. Sub-folders will inherit these settings from the parent folder.
