For the purposes of this demo, I will be uploading the following folder named: jkl-ipfs-test. The folder has 2 .txt files stored inside.
If you are uploading NFT assets, pretend the .txt files are your image assets.

Drag and drop a folder

You can drag and drop a folder directly into Pin and it will create a collection with the folder name and sort the files inside, preserving file structure.Dragging a folder pin should trigger the screen below.

Retrieving collection cid

By clicking on the cid of the folder you want to retrieve, you will automatically copy it. The cid will be that of the entire collection.

​
Using Your Collection CID

Once you’ve successfully uploaded your collection, you can use the CID in various ways:
  • For NFT Assets: Use the collection CID to reference your entire asset folder in NFT projects
  • In NFT Metadata Files: Include the CID in your NFT metadata JSON files to link to images and other assets
  • For NFT Marketplaces: Use the CID when minting or listing NFTs on platforms like Stargaze.
  • For NFT Smart Contracts: Reference the CID in your smart contracts for on-chain verification of assets
  • For NFT Galleries: Create decentralized galleries that display your NFT collections using the CID
The CID serves as a permanent, content-addressed identifier for your entire NFT collection, ensuring your digital assets remain accessible and verifiable on the IPFS network for collectors and marketplaces.
