What is the Difference Between a Folder and a Playlist?

What is a Folder?

Folders are the place where your content, such as images, photos, and videos, is uploaded to the Nixplay Cloud to be used in Playlists. 

When you upload content to our Nixplay Cloud, it needs to be uploaded to into a media folder.  

What is a Playlist?

Playlists are collections of content from your media folders, social media folders, and uploaded content that allow you to customize the order your content for use in digital signage campaigns.

Playlists are a way for:

• you to create a collection of relevant content and
• have that collection made available for digital signage campaigns

There are two types of Playlists:

• Standard Playlist - lets you add content from your computer, content folders, or connected social media sites that can be organized as needed
• Dynamic Playlist - connects to Dropbox and populates your playlist based on how your content is organized on your Dropbox account. You will need to connect to your Dropbox account to setup your Dynamic Playlist. Note, Dynamic Playlists are indicated with Dropbox icon on the top right corner of the playlist folder.
