→Adding custom folders from your hard drive
The '''Local Library''', '''Cloud Library''', and '''Downloads''' sections are always visible. The '''Purchased''' and '''Shared with Me''' sections are shown only when they contain models.
In most sections, models can be organized using a traditional folder structure.

The '''Cloud Library''' is a new option in 1.4 for storing designs that offers allows instant access to design files through MatterControl from anywhere with an Internet connection. Designs stored in the Cloud Library are tied to a [[MatterHackers.com account]]. Once signed in the user can browse and manage any design files previously added and add new files.
Designs within the Cloud Library are synced automatically across any devices the user is currently logged into and can also be viewed from the [https://sync.mattercontrol.com/ MatterControl Sync] website.
For more information on the Cloud Library check out [[Cloud#File_Sharing|the MatterControl wiki page for CLOUD SYNC]] and [http://www.matterhackers.com/articles/in-depth-mattercontrol-cloud-library In Depth: MatterControl Cloud Library for Designs].

== Adding custom folders from your hard drive ==
The library can be set up to track any folder on your hard drive the same way it does with the [[Library#Downloads|Downloads]] folder. To do this, create a file called {{ic|LibraryFolders.conf}} in the MatterControl [[Data directory|application data directory]]. Add the full path to the folders you want to track on separate lines. Here is an example:
{{bc|
/home/matterhacker/testsupport/Printed Parts
/home/matterhacker/Designs
}}
[[Category:Features]]
