Unable to move files in Replay from a project to another project or the 'root' folder

I did manage to create a project and move files from the 'Your Work' to the project (would like to be able to export the file to these projects directly, but this is a minor annoyance). However, I can't move this file back to the root or another project folder. It lets me choose the move option, but it only shows the current projects.

 

Trying copy doesn't work either, but it lets me see the Your Work and other project folders.

 

#replay #projects #move

  • Hi Fred Schenk, thanks for posting to our Community! 

     

    Keep in mind that once a file is inside a project, there's no way to move it outside into either "Your work" or another project. 

     

    This gets reflected when you click the "Move to folder" option in the context menu where it only shows you the folder tree for the project you're currently in. 

     

    I hope this clarifies.

      I'm curious if there's any workaround for this—I accidentally moved videos into the wrong project and can't figure out a way to get them into the correct project. There's a "copy to project" option, and while it opens up the correct project when I click that option, the video isn't actually copied into the new project. Help!

        The only way I have found, is by removing the video from the wrong project and uploading it once again. And loosing all the comments in the proces.
