Have you ever found yourself needing to organize your files, specifically your images, in a more efficient way on your computer or Android device? Well, this article is here to help you with just that! We will be talking about creating folders and organizing images within folders, specifically in Excel and Android. Let’s get started!
Creating Folders in Excel
If you’re using Excel for data management, you may occasionally find yourself needing to create links to files that exist outside of Excel. For example, you may have a folder full of images that you want to link to from a spreadsheet. Creating those links one-by-one can be tedious, but by following the steps outlined below, you can add a bunch of links at once!
Step 1:
First, make sure your files are all in the same folder. For this example, let’s say we have a folder on our desktop called “Image Folder” and it contains five images.
Step 2:
Now we’re ready to add the links to our Excel sheet! Open your Excel sheet and select the cell where you want to start adding links.
Step 3:
With the cell selected, select the “Insert” tab from the ribbon at the top of your screen.
Step 4:
Click on the “Hyperlink” button in the “Links” section of the ribbon.
Step 5:
In the “Insert Hyperlink” dialog that appears, navigate to the folder where your images are stored.
Step 6:
Select all of the images in the folder by holding down the “Shift” key and clicking on the first and last image in the folder.
Step 7:
Click the “OK” button to close the “Insert Hyperlink” dialog. At this point, Excel will have created a hyperlink for each of the images in your folder, all in one shot!
Organizing Images in Android Folders
In Android devices, there are multiple ways to organize your files, but the most efficient way is through creating folders. Here are two ways to create folders for organizing your images on Android devices:
Option 1: Creating Folders in the Gallery App
The first way is through the Gallery app which allows you to create folders for your images right within the app. Here’s how:
Step 1:
Open the Gallery app on your Android device
Step 2:
Click on the plus icon in the top right corner of the screen.
Step 3:
Select “Folder”
Step 4:
Choose a name for your new folder and then tap “Create.”
Step 5:
Your new folder will appear in the “Albums” section of the app. Tap on the folder to open it.
Step 6:
Now that you’ve created your folder, you can start adding images to it. While viewing an image in the app, tap the three-dot icon in the top right corner of the screen, then select “Move” or “Copy.”
Option 2: Creating Folders Using a File Manager App
The second option for organizing your images on Android devices is through the use of a file manager app. These apps can be downloaded from the Google Play store. Here’s how:
Step 1:
Open your file manager app and find the folder or image you want to move.
Step 2:
Long-press on the image or folder to select it.
Step 3:
In the options menu that appears, select “Move” or “Copy.”
Step 4:
Navigate to the folder where you want to move or copy your files, and then select “Paste.”
