Add your first source folder

Updated Aug 9, 2026 · 1 min read

Point Meshory at a folder, drive, or NAS mount. It reads your library in place. Nothing is moved or uploaded.

A source is any folder Meshory watches: a local folder, an external drive, or a network mount. Add one and Meshory reads the models already there. It never moves, copies, or uploads your files.

1. 1Add a source and pick the top-level folder of your library.
2. 2Meshory walks the folder and indexes everything it finds, content-hashing files so duplicates can be grouped.
3. 3In the background it renders a thumbnail for each STL, 3MF, OBJ and FBX, including models inside ZIP, RAR and 7Z archives.

You don't have to wait for the whole thing to finish. Thumbnails fill in as the render workers get to them, and you can browse, search, and open models while scanning continues.
