Uploading Media

The Media Library is where you manage all of your images and videos in Soku. You can upload files, organize them into folders, and use them across your posts. Access the library at /library from the main sidebar.

How to Upload

There are two ways to add media to your library:

Drag and Drop

  1. Open the Media Library at /library.
  2. Drag one or more files from your computer directly onto the upload area.
  3. Soku begins uploading immediately. A progress indicator appears for each file.

File Picker

  1. Open the Media Library at /library.
  2. Click the Upload button.
  3. Select one or more files from your computer using the file picker dialog.
  4. Soku begins uploading the selected files.
You can upload multiple files at once using either method. Each file is processed independently, so a failure on one file does not affect the others.

Where Files Are Stored

Soku stores your uploaded media in Firebase Storage, organized by file type:
Media TypeStorage Path
Videosusers/{uid}/videos/
Imagesusers/{uid}/images/
Each file is associated with your account and is only accessible to you.

Organizing Media into Folders

The Media Library supports folders to help you keep your assets organized.

Creating a Folder

  1. In the Media Library, click New Folder.
  2. Enter a name for the folder.
  3. Click Create.

Renaming a Folder

  1. Right-click the folder (or click its menu icon).
  2. Select Rename.
  3. Enter the new name and confirm.

Deleting a Folder

  1. Right-click the folder (or click its menu icon).
  2. Select Delete.
  3. Confirm the deletion.
Deleting a folder will also delete all media files inside it. This action cannot be undone.

Asset Cards and Previews

Each file in your library is displayed as an asset card showing:
  • A thumbnail preview of the image or video
  • The file name
  • The file type and size
  • The upload date
Click on any asset card to view the full file details, copy its URL, or delete it.

Format and Size Limits

Soku accepts the following file types and sizes:
TypeAccepted FormatsMax Size
VideoMP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV500 MB

PNG images are automatically converted to JPEG after upload to ensure compatibility across all social media platforms.
