## Viewing Folder Groups

**To view all folders groups in the portal:**

- Select **Global File System > Folder Groups** in the navigation pane. The **Folder Groups** page is displayed. ![Image](https://cdn.document360.io/30792387-cdcb-4791-aa14-94929bbcd3fe/Images/Documentation/image-5X412ESK.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T04%3A27%3A32Z&se=2026-11-11T05%3A27%3A32Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=RUXqlSP1oIByotwL78XxUD9v%2FKiIJjR0lb4yBUXwE7o%3D) **Name** – The folder group's name. If the folder is passphrase-protected, this information is displayed. **Owner** – The user name of the folder group's owner. **Storage Class** – The storage class where content of the folder group is written. A storage class is a group of one or more storage nodes, defined by the CTERA Portal global administrator, where data is written and saved. **Status** – The folder's status:
  - **Online** – The folder group is online, and it is possible to view and modify, and sync files to it.
  - **Offline** – The folder group is offline, and it is not possible to view, modify, or sync files to it. Folders may be taken offline during some maintenance operations, such as when repairing a folder.
