Foldr is a web app, so most users never need to install anything. When they do, the desktop apps mount everything you’ve connected as a drive and the mobile apps make capture a one-tap thing.
The desktop and mobile apps are thin clients on the same backend the web app uses. A change in one shows up in the others without a sync round trip. Full-text search runs in the web and mobile apps; on the desktop drive, the OS file-search handles names and the web app handles content.
Everything Foldr does, in any modern browser. Sign in with SSO, drag a file in, search across every backend.
Mounts your shares as a drive in Finder. Open files in any Mac app and save back in place.
Mounts as a drive letter or network location. Works with the Office suite, Adobe apps, anything that opens a file.
Browse, share, photograph documents straight into Captur (Captur is on Enterprise, or with an appliance licence). Files app integration so other apps can open Foldr-hosted files.
Same shape as iOS. Capture, browse, share, with system-level file picker integration.
The OneDrive sync client is a familiar source of tickets in schools and mixed-OS estates (placeholders, conflicts, full disks). Foldr mounts OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams sites as a real drive on Mac and Windows. Office and Adobe apps save back the way they always did. Same goes for Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, S3, and your SMB shares; they all sit alongside in one mount.
OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams sites in one drive. No sync agent, so none of the “online only” placeholders, sync conflicts or SSD pressure on classroom devices.
Drive mount in Finder. Same files, same shape as Windows. The OneDrive Mac client’s sync horror stories aren’t something Foldr needs.
The drive is a network mount, not a local copy. Files stream when you open them. Open a large Premiere project or video file the same way you’d open a Word doc, without copying it down first.
OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, S3 and your SMB shares all in the same drive. One mount on the desktop, every backend underneath.
Word, Excel and PowerPoint files on the drive open straight into Office for the web. Works for staff on A1, A1 Plus and the cheaper business plans where no one bought a full desktop Microsoft 365 licence. No Microsoft 365 licence at all? Foldr’s own editors open Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, and the OpenDocument ones, right in the browser.
Your file servers come along on the same HTTPS connection as everything else on the drive, so staff reach them from home or the road without a VPN. (On Foldr Cloud a server behind your firewall connects through the Edge agent; on an appliance, it’s whatever your appliance can already reach.)
An AI assistant that speaks MCP can search Foldr, list a folder and read a file, as the person who approved it and with exactly that person’s permissions. Nobody hands over a password, and no copy of your files is made anywhere new: the assistant asks Foldr each time, and Foldr answers with what that person could already see.
It uses standard OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and registers itself with Foldr, so there are no keys to paste. The person signs in as usual, sees what the app is asking for, and says yes or no. Access lasts an hour at a time and can be revoked, and a revoked app stops at once.
Until then Foldr doesn’t even acknowledge it exists. What an assistant gets is reading: shares, folders, search, file text, custom fields, bookmarks and your own activity. Anything that changes a file needs a policy an administrator agrees for that app, sharing still goes through approval, and nothing destructive is offered at all.
Everyone can see which apps are connected to their account and disconnect any of them, and they’re emailed when a new one connects. An app’s access goes when the person does. Text taken from files is marked as content, so a file can’t pose as an instruction to the assistant.
It’s included from Business on Foldr Cloud, and on an appliance there’s no licence to buy once an administrator switches it on. One honest note: it’s built for reading and finding. Letting an assistant change things is something you opt into, app by app, and we’d suggest starting with reads.
