 * Am I missing something? I don’t see an option to select what folder a file should
   be uploaded to when I want to add a new file to the Media Library.
 * Is it only possible to upload it, and then assign a category to it AFTER?

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for writing! If you have a specific folder selected while you click
   on the **Add Media File** button, the uploaded file will be automatically added
   to that folder [https://vertis.d.pr/i/lpTt5v](https://vertis.d.pr/i/lpTt5v) .
 * Let me know if this is what you mean.
 * Thank you!
