ZoomSphere Files is your new go-to for organizing all your team’s stuff in one place. It’s like your cloud storage but better because it’s built right into ZoomSphere. Here’s the lowdown:

What are Files?

  • Content Library Magic: Its a shared cloud storage linked to a Workspace for you to keep all your campaign assets—photos, videos, documents—at your fingertips. It also works with the Scheduler, Workflow Manager, Notes, and Chat!

  • Team Sharing Made Easy: Everyone with access to the workspace can jump in, collaborate, and stay on the same page.

  • Talk It Out: Every file has its own comment section, so you can hash out ideas, give feedback, and keep discussions tied to the exact asset.

How to Get Organized

Files are fantastic because they let you create dedicated folders for different purposes, giving you the flexibility to organize everything you need for work. This makes it super easy to find what you need without wasting time searching.

Let’s explore the types of folders you can set up:

By Client and Project:

  • Workspace A:

    • Branding: Store all client logos, color palettes, and brand guidelines.

    • Campaigns: Create separate folders for each campaign—like "Summer Sale 2023"—with subfolders for ads, videos, and performance reports.

    • Media: Have dedicated folders for photoshoots, raw videos, and edited content.

    • Reports: Organize performance analytics, monthly reviews, and client feedback.

    • Projects: Separate folders for each project, like "Website Redesign" or "Holiday Campaign," so everything from mockups to final assets is easy to find.

  • Workspace B:

    • Branding: Store all client logos, color palettes, and brand guidelines.

    • Campaigns: Create separate folders for each campaign—like "Summer Sale 2023"—with subfolders for ads, videos, and performance reports.

    • Projects: Separate folders for each project, like "Website Redesign" or "Holiday Campaign," so everything from mockups to final assets is easy to find.By

Content-Type:

  • Images, Videos, Story posts - create a folder for each post type, for instance, an individual folder for images and videos dedicated exclusively to your Instagram/Facebook Stories, then another folder for 9:16 vertical videos (Reels, TikToks, and Shorts) – you get the idea.

  • Branding: Centralize logos, custom fonts, and all the original illustrations—think logo variations, brand color codes, and icon sets.

  • Marketing Materials: Store banner ads, promotional videos, and infographics in organized folders for quick access when creating new campaigns.

  • Documents: Keep all contracts, strategy documents, and financial reports neatly filed away.

Chronological:

Create folders for each year, broken down to another folders by each month.

  • 2023:

    • January: Files related to the start of the year, like kick-off meetings and new project plans.

    • February: Group all your content and reports from February, like completed campaigns and monthly reviews.

  • 2022:

    • November & December: Archive end-of-year campaigns, holiday promotions, and the final reports of the year.

    • and so on...

Campaigns and Events:

Gather all your important files from each campaign or event and store them in individual folders for easy access and organization.

  • Summer 2023 Campaign: Store every asset related to the campaign—photos, promotional videos, final performance reports, and even brainstorming notes.

  • Event XYZ: Gather everything in one place, from planning documents and marketing collateral to post-event summaries and feedback forms.

  • Black Friday: Get all your Black friday content in one place.

Hybrid Organization:

  • Client A:

    • 2023 & 2022: Combine different organization methods—have a folder for each year, then divide it into projects, branding, and reports. This way, everything is where it should be, whether you're looking for last year’s brand assets or this year’s Q1 performance report.
