How can we help?

Open System Settings › Privacy & Security › Full Disk Access and switch Folia Files on. It lets Folia Files open every folder without asking one at a time — the welcome screen walks you through it.

The website edition checks this site for a new version once a day and offers to download it; you can also check at any time from the app menu. The App Store edition updates through the App Store.

Copy it again from the email, in one piece — or simply click the Activate button in that email. Still no luck? Write to us with your order number.

Quit it and move it from Applications to the Trash. Its settings live in ~/Library/Application Support/Folia Files if you want to remove them too.

They rely on rclone, the free open-source tool. Install it once (brew install rclone) and Folia Files handles the rest — no macFUSE, no admin rights. Network shares (SMB, AFP, NFS, WebDAV, FTP) need nothing extra.
