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
- Open the Media Library at /library.
- Drag one or more files from your computer directly onto the upload area.
- Soku begins uploading immediately. A progress indicator appears for each file.
File Picker
- Open the Media Library at /library.
- Click the Upload button.
- Select one or more files from your computer using the file picker dialog.
- 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.
