It has the standard layout where the directory structure is visible on the left side while a list files of the selected directory occupies right side of the view.

Creating a folder

Directories in RavenFS are created automatically based on file names which are always full paths. The studio provides a feature to create folders virtually in order to build the appropriate structure before a file upload. Use New Folder button located above the directory structure to create a new folder (it will become a subfolder of the currently selected one):

The folder remains virtual as long as it is empty. If you switch between studio pages without uploading any file there then it will disappear.
