How to create a folder structure diagram

Mac Folder Structure

  • Define your requirements based on your company needs. Decide how you want your files to be organized; whether project wise, year-wise, or function wise?
  • Identify files that get created as part of business processes and files that are used for references (like company registration documents).
  • Create a diagram for organizing folders using a Creately folder structure template.
  • Create a folder for each category of document and then make subfolders for each aspect of that category.
  • Create an ‘uncategorized’ folder to place the files that don’t fit into any other folder.
  • Color-code the different folders on the diagram so it makes it easier for anyone to understand the folder hierarchy.
  • Identify ownership and sharing rules for different folders. Use color codes to map roles to folders. Some folders may be shared across the company and some may be personal while others may have departmental or role level access.
  • Get your IT team and management to sign off and adjust the planned structure by inviting them to collaborate on the diagram.
  • Download your diagrams as SVGs or in print-ready formats or share them with others so they can quickly access and edit them.
