#### File Management

* Delete Files: You can delete files, but note that they can't be moved between folders. Only empty folders can be deleted.

#### Bulk Deletion

#### Organizing Folders

Create a custom folder hierarchy using various permissible characters, such as letters, numbers, spaces, periods, hyphens, and underscores.
