Rename files and folders

You can rename files and folders to keep your Tresorit storage organized. Available actions depend on folder permissions.

• A main folder can only be renamed by its owner.
• Members can rename a shared main folder for themselves – the change will not be visible to others.
• Subfolders and files can be renamed by any member except Viewers.

ℹ️ Engage rooms can also be renamed with appropriate permissions in SecureCloud.

Main folders

Renaming a synced main folder in Tresorit keeps syncing active, but the local folder retains its original name. Renaming the local folder on your computer breaks the sync path, causing a sync error. To keep the folder name identical in both locations, you have two options:

• Turn off sync, rename both folders, then turn sync back on.
• Rename both folders while sync is active, then resolve the sync error.

Existing links and file requests remain active with their original name. To display the new name, create a new link.

Files and subfolders

Renaming files or subfolders automatically updates the new name across all platforms, shared links, and synced folders.

Links and file requests pointing directly to the renamed item continue to work, but display the original name. To show the new name, create a new link.
