To test out how the new feature works, go to your, for example, Media folders and expand the “Dynamic Folders” dropdown.
If you sort by file size, please note that by default, there are 4 criteria:
0-1 MB – will show all files that have file sizes between 0 – to 1MB
1-10 MB – will show all files that have file sizes that are greater than 1MB to 10MB
10-100MB – will show all files that have file sizes that are greater than 10MB to 100MB
100MB-1GB – will show all files that have file sizes that are greater than 100MB to 1GB
