Important

Folders cannot be imported to the File Operation/Share dialog.If you wish to import multiple files at once, open the folder on the OS file management screen and select all files.If the project has multiple pages, it will be imported to the File Operation/Share dialog with the management folder deleted.

When importing a project with a large number of pages, we recommend using the Clip Studio cloud service to share the file.Alternatively, if you are importing a management folder from the device storage or an external drive, compress the management folder into ZIP format in advance so that the entire project is grouped in the management folder and can be imported to the File Operation/Share dialog box.

Exporting files to storage

Files and folders saved to the Clip Studio Paint app can be exported as a copy to the device's storage.

In the File operation/Share dialog box, select the file you wish to export to storage from the file list and tap Export from the side menu.

Note that when you export a folder containing multiple files, the files will be compressed into ZIP format.

The following folder types will be compressed:

·Management folders for multi-page projects

·Folders exported from the File menu > Export Animation > Image sequence

·Folder exported from the File menu > Export multiple pages > Batch export or Export fanzine printing data

If you want to open the file in another program or device, please unzip the exported files first.

You also cannot open exported files or folders directly in Clip Studio Paint.To open them in Clip Studio Paint again, please import them to the File operation/Share dialog.See "Importing files from storage".
