📁 OneDrive Folder Structure

YakShaver monitors your OneDrive /Recordings folder and will automatically process any video files it finds, regardless of how they're organized within that folder structure.

Supported Folder Structures

YakShaver works with flexible folder organization:

Direct placement:

• OneDrive/Recordings/video.mp4

Tool-specific folders:

• OneDrive/Recordings/Teams/video.mp4
• OneDrive/Recordings/Snagit/video.mp4
• OneDrive/Recordings/SnippingTool/video.mp4

Project-based organization:

• OneDrive/Recordings/Projects/MyProject/video.mp4
• OneDrive/Recordings/ClientWork/CompanyA/video.mp4

Date-based organization:

• OneDrive/Recordings/2025/January/video.mp4
• OneDrive/Recordings/2025/Week03/video.mp4

Mixed organization:

• OneDrive/Recordings/Teams/2025/ProjectA/video.mp4
• OneDrive/Recordings/Personal/Ideas/video.mp4

Key Points

• Automatic Detection: YakShaver scans the entire /Recordings folder tree
• Flexible Structure: Organize recordings in any subfolder structure that works for you
• No Naming Restrictions: Folder names don't need to follow specific conventions
• Nested Folders: You can create folders within folders as deep as needed

Best Practices

• Create tool-specific folders (e.g., Teams, Snagit, SnippingTool) to keep recordings organized
• Use project or client-based folders for work organization
• Consider date-based folders for long-term archival
• Avoid spaces in folder names to prevent potential issues with some tools

💡 Tip: You can reorganize your folder structure at any time - YakShaver will continue to process videos regardless of where they're located under /Recordings.
