Importing and iCloud storage
Foli imports only the photos and files you select from Photos or Finder and never modifies the Apple Photos original. Release builds keep full-resolution managed originals in Foli’s app-specific iCloud Documents workspace and can optimize local storage.
People and places
People analysis runs on the Mac. Confirm a focused name suggestion to save that person across the library; project and production roles remain specific to each project. Map groups use embedded GPS metadata or saved project locations.
Posts, carousels, and Reels
Social Studio creates portable media but does not publish directly to a social network. Reels can include multiple clips, overlays, audio, captions, timeline frames, trimming, timing, and transitions.
Restoring Recently Deleted media
Open Recently Deleted in Foli, select the item, and choose Restore before the retention period ends. Restoring returns the managed item to the library without changing Apple Photos.
Export troubleshooting
Confirm that the destination has enough free space and that Foli has permission to write there. If a format is unavailable, try another supported format and verify the dimensions and filename settings.
External editors
Foli prepares a managed working copy for an external editor. Save the edited file normally, then return to Foli to continue the import or update workflow. The managed original remains recoverable.
Reopening the main window
If the main Foli window has been closed while the app remains open, choose Window > Show Foli Window from the macOS menu bar.
