FAQ

The main questions people will ask first.

This page covers product behavior, local storage, symlink requirements, Personal and Teams subscriptions, and the current refund posture for direct purchases.

Quick facts

  • Local-first by design
  • No file-content uploads in the core workflow
  • Metadata stored in ~/.folddr/config.json
  • Personal: $9/month or $90/year; Teams: $39/month or $390/year

What kind of folders is Folddr for?

Folddr fits heavy project folders that can move physically while the original path stays available through a symlink.

Does Folddr upload my files?

No. Folddr is positioned as local-first and the current brief explicitly says there is no file-content upload.

Where does it store metadata?

Folddr stores metadata in ~/.folddr/config.json and keeps managed folders under ~/.folddr/storage.

What happens if a rename cannot happen across drives?

The documented fallback is copy + delete, which keeps the flow working across drives.

Why are there Windows-specific notes?

Symlink creation on Windows may require Administrator privileges or Developer Mode, especially in development workflows.

What is included in the free version?

The free MVP covers manual selection, link creation, restore, safe removal, diagnostics, a searchable links table, and cross-drive fallback handling.

What do paid plans add?

Paid plans include project folder scan helpers, background monitoring, auto-link rules and schedules, and advanced analytics.

Are paid plans subscription-based?

Yes. Personal and Teams are subscription plans with monthly and yearly billing options.

What is the refund window?

New subscriptions have a 14-day first-payment refund window. Purchases through third-party stores follow that storefront's rules.
