Move files to the Archive folder to detach them from the Album, Smart, and Mirror Folders without trashing and eventually deleting them. The Archive folder works differently from other folders, creating a midway point between active and trashed files.
Archived files will remain in the Archive until you take action to reuse or trash them. Typically, clients use the Archive to quickly remove files from general visibility until they have had time to review. That could be when a colleague leaves, or when usage agreements expire.
About archived files:
- Removed from folders
- CDN links deactivated
- Not searchable*
- Not trashed

*Unless using a workaround
Get in touch with customer support to activate the folder.
Good to know
Find the Archive folder
The Archive folder sits right above your Trash folder and is only visible to admin users unless other users have been granted access.
Add files to Archive
To add files to the Archive, select the files and click the three-dotted More menu, right-click and select Archive or simply drag and drop.
Search workaround
To search archived files, either search locally in the Archive folder or manually select the Archive folder in the search bar.
