A storage path is a template that arranges your documents into a tidy, folder-like structure automatically, without you filing each one. Write the pattern once with placeholders and every matching document gets a readable virtual path.

The storage-path editor in Stoatify with the template created_year / correspondent / title and a live preview reading 2026/Acme Corp/Invoice March
A template plus a live preview; placeholders fill in from each document.

How it works

  • Build a template from placeholders like {created_year}, {correspondent}, {document_type}, and {title}.
  • A live preview shows how a real document resolves as you type.
  • Paths are virtual: they organize how files are presented, the underlying bytes don't move.
  1. 1Open Settings → Library → Storage paths and choose Add storage path.
  2. 2Enter a template, using the placeholder cheatsheet as a guide.
  3. 3Save it, then assign it to documents and browse by Storage path.
