MediaDock Pro is a free WordPress media library folders plugin that brings professional file organization to your WordPress admin. Instead of scrolling through hundreds of unorganized attachments, MediaDock Pro adds a clean folder sidebar directly inside the WordPress Media Library — so you can organize, find, and manage your media files in seconds. Download it free from Teconce and take full control of your media library today.
WordPress Media Library Folders Plugin — Core Features
Managing a growing WordPress media library without folders is painful. MediaDock Pro solves this with a virtual folder system that organizes your files inside the database — your actual uploads folder stays untouched on the server. No file system changes, no broken image URLs, no risk.
Unlimited Nested Folders
Create as many folders and subfolders as you need. There is no limit on folder depth or count. Build a folder structure that mirrors your site architecture, client projects, or content categories — exactly the way you think.
Virtual Folder Organization
Files remain in the standard WordPress uploads directory. MediaDock Pro stores the folder structure in the database, meaning all your existing file URLs stay intact. Nothing breaks when you reorganize.
Drag and Drop File Management
Move attachments into folders by dragging them from the media grid onto any folder in the sidebar. Reorder folders by dragging them up or down the folder tree. Sort files inside a folder by name, date, modified date, author, or custom order.
Folder Actions via Context Menu
Right-click any folder to access a full set of actions: create a subfolder, rename, delete, duplicate, cut and paste to another location, assign a custom color for quick identification, and choose a custom icon from the Remix Icon library.
Folder Tree Sidebar
The folder sidebar includes a search bar to filter folders by name, expand and collapse controls for nested subfolders, a folder item count display, and a full sidebar collapse option for a distraction-free media view. Sort folders by name, ID, order, parent, or creation date.
Breadcrumb Navigation
An optional breadcrumb bar above the media grid shows your current folder path. Click any segment to jump directly to that folder level. Enable or disable this in the plugin settings.
WordPress Media Library Folders Plugin — Pro Features
MediaDock Pro includes a powerful set of advanced features for teams, agencies, and power users who need more than basic folder organization.
Smart Collections
Smart Collections are saved filter views that automatically show media matching specific criteria — without physically moving any files. Each user gets their own personal collections displayed below the folder tree. Filter by file type (images, video, audio, PDF, documents), date added, folder, or author.
Folder Templates
Save an entire folder structure as a reusable template. Apply it under any existing folder or as a new root folder structure. Ideal for agencies and developers who set up the same folder structure for every new client project. Manage templates under Settings → MediaDock Pro → Templates.
Folder Permissions
Control who can see and who can add files to each folder using WordPress user roles. Set separate View and Add permissions per folder. Roles supported: Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, and Subscriber. Folders with no restriction set are accessible to all users by default.
Folder Notes and Descriptions
Add internal notes or descriptions to any folder. Useful for team documentation, briefing notes, or reminders about folder purpose and content. Visible in the folder action panel.
Usage Report
See exactly where each attachment is being used across your site — posts, pages, and custom post types. Attachments that are not used anywhere are clearly flagged. This information appears directly in the attachment details sidebar inside the Media Library.
Duplicate Detection
Scan your entire media library or a specific folder for duplicate files using file hash comparison. When duplicates are found you can merge them (keep one file and replace all usages across the site), or delete specific duplicate copies individually. Managed under Settings → MediaDock Pro → Tools.
Assistive SEO Audit
Audit your media library for common SEO problems. The tool identifies images missing ALT text and flags filenames containing spaces or SEO-unfriendly characters. Run audits per folder with optional subfolder inclusion and use quick edit links to fix issues without leaving the audit view.
Download as ZIP
Download all files in any folder as a ZIP archive directly from the folder context menu. Choose whether to include subfolder contents in the download.
WordPress Media Library Folders Plugin — Integrations
The WordPress media library folders plugin works seamlessly across the entire WordPress admin, not just the main Media Library screen.
Elementor Integration
The folder sidebar appears inside the Elementor media picker when inserting images into your designs. You get the same full folder tree, search, and file selection experience as the main Media Library.
WooCommerce Integration
The folder picker is available when adding product images and gallery images inside WooCommerce. Browse your organized folders without leaving the product editor.
Insert Media Modal
A folder filter appears in the toolbar whenever you use the standard WordPress Insert Media modal — for posts, pages, and any content type that uses the native WordPress media uploader.
Bulk Move to Folder
Select multiple attachments in the Media Library and use the Move to Folder option in the bulk actions toolbar to move them all to any folder at once.
Import from Other Plugins
Already using a different media folder plugin? MediaDock Pro can import your existing folder structures and assignments from 12+ popular plugins including FileBird, HappyFiles, WP Media Folder, Enhanced Media Library, Wicked Folders, Folders by Premio, WP Real Media Library, Media Library Assistant, Mediamatic, and more. You can also import and export folder structures via CSV for backup and migration. Managed under Settings → MediaDock Pro → Import.
REST API for Developers
MediaDock Pro includes a full REST API under the base URL /wp-json/mediadock/v1/ covering folders, smart collections, folder templates, folder permissions, attachments, duplicate management, SEO audit, and import/export. All endpoints require standard WordPress authentication. Full endpoint reference is included in the plugin documentation.
RTL Support and Translations
MediaDock Pro fully supports Right-to-Left languages including Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian. RTL is detected automatically from your WordPress locale — no configuration needed. The sidebar, folder tree, modals, and all UI elements adjust automatically. The plugin is fully translation-ready with the text domain mediadock-pro and is compatible with WPML and Polylang.
Keyboard Shortcuts
For power users, MediaDock Pro includes optional keyboard shortcuts that can be enabled or disabled in the settings.
