After you create your sub-directory, it will appear at the bottom under Opened Directory.
To add a file to that directory, you will need to click the title of your new directory.
Once files have been uploaded to a directory, you have the option to: Download Selected Files: Download the selected file to your computer for editing or saving. (If you make changes, you will have to upload the edited file again). Copy Selected Files: You can copy the file to other directories (a different sub-directory or class).
