1. A media folder containing all of your artwork files.

   1. These files must be formatted correctly and numbered 1, 2, 3 and so on. *Ensure there are no hash marks in the filenames

2. Optional - A single .csv file containing your collection’s metadata.

3. Optional - A thumbnails folder containing the thumbnail(s) you would like to display on your non-image media (audio/video).

   1. if you are using non-image media (audio/video), you must use the thumbnail folder to upload images for marketplaces to display on list pages. By default they will match on filename media/1.mp4 -> thumbnails/1.png

1. Inside your media folder, there must be the correct number of artworks you intend to upload as part of your drop. It is essential to ensure you have placed the correct number of artworks in your folder because once you have created your collection, the number of artworks cannot be changed.

2. These files must be formatted correctly and numbered 1, 2, 3 and so on. Ensure there are no hash marks in the filenames

1. Optional - A singular .csv file containing your collection’s metadata. A guide to formatting your .csv can be found here. Below is an example of what your .csv file can look like:

Name	Description	Media	Thumbnail	attribute [attribute name #1]	attribute [attribute name #2]
NFT #1
NFT #2
NFT #3
NFT #4

1. Optional - A thumbnails folder. If you are using non-image media (audio/video) for your drops collection, you can use a ‘thumbnails’ folder to upload images for marketplaces to display on list pages. By default, they will match on the filename (e.g. media/1.mp3 will link to thumbnails/1.png).

Your artwork folder is now suitable to go! Upload your artwork folder and continue with the creation of your drops collection.
