FAQs

Click a question to learn more about uploading and managing your media.

Why do I see the 'Can’t use this folder' message when adding media from my phone?

On Android devices, you may need to choose a folder that your device allows the Wix app to access. When you tap Change folder, you may see the 'Can’t use this folder' message. Choose a folder that contains your images, tap Use this Folder then tap Allow.

Which folder should I choose to upload images from my Android device?

Choose a folder that contains the images you want to upload. On many Android devices, photos taken with your camera are stored in the DCIM folder. Folder names and locations can vary by device and app. After selecting the relevant folder, tap Allow to give the Wix app access.

Tip: You can also create a new folder. That folder will then be your standard image folder for uploads to the app.
