Move a folder

Before you start

Who can use this feature

Available on all plans

You need can edit permissions in both the source and destination team/folder

Folders in Figma are organized within teams. Moving a folder from one team to another may change who has access to it.

Note: Need to move a folder to a different organization or company? See Transfer a folder or team to a different account.

Before you move a folder

If you move a folder, any nested folders inside it move too.

The folder keeps its existing access and permission settings when it’s moved. (Permission and access are determined by the “Who can access” dropdown on the folder’s share settings). This means:

If access is set to Only those invited, only people explicitly invited to the folder will have access after it’s moved.
Organization and Enterprise plans: If access is set to Anyone in [organization name], all organization members retain the same level of access.
Enterprise only: If access is set to Anyone in [workspace name], all members of the destination workspace will have access. If the folder is moved to a team that isn’t assigned to a workspace, access is reduced to Only those invited.

To move a folder to a different team:

Open the file browser by logging in at figma.com. If you're in a Figma file, click the Figma menu > Back to files.
Navigate to the folder.
- On the Starter or Professional plan, select All folders from the left sidebar. Then, select a folder.
- On the Organization or Enterprise plan, select All teams from the left sidebar. Select a team, then select a folder.
- On the Enterprise plan with workspaces enabled, select All workspaces from the left sidebar. Then, select a team from the Your teams tab. Select a folder in that team.
Click the dropdown menu next to the folder name and select Move...
Choose a new team or folder to move the selected folder into. (Folders can be nested up to 10 levels deep.)

Tip: While browsing a team, you can also right-click on a folder and select Move folder from the menu that appears.

Caution: If the Move... or Move folder menu items are unavailable, it may be because you only have view permissions on the folder. You can check the permissions of your folder by clicking the Share button on the folder page.
