## What is Folderella?

Folderella automatically organizes your iPhone photos into trip-based folders using GPS data, then backs them up to external storage or your PC.

No more manually sorting hundreds of photos — Folderella creates folders based on when and where you took them.

--- Key Features ---

> GPS-Based Auto Organization
Analyzes location data to automatically group photos into trip-based folders. Photos taken within 10km go into the same folder; photos 50km+ apart are split into separate folders.

> Smart Folder Naming
Folders are named automatically with intuitive date and city combinations like "2025-10-11~13_Lausanne".

> Two Ways to Save
- Local / Cloud: Save directly to a USB-C external drive or iCloud Drive
- Send to PC: Wirelessly transfer to a Windows PC on the same WiFi (requires Folderella Receiver)

> Incremental Backup
Previously backed-up photos are skipped — only new photos are processed. No duplicates, no matter how many times you run it.

> Smart Filters
Customize what gets backed up: exclude videos, screenshots, Live Photos, or selfies — or back up favorites only.

> Preview Before Backup
Review the folder list and photo count before starting the backup.

> Real-Time Progress
See the current file being processed and estimated time remaining — live.

--- Who It's For ---

- Travelers who want photos sorted by trip
- Anyone who regularly backs up to external drives
- People looking to free up iCloud storage
- Anyone tired of manually organizing photos

--- PC Transfer Note ---

The "Send to PC" feature requires Folderella Receiver on your Windows PC.

### 5/5 — This app is amazing

*2026-05-13*

I am writing this right now to tell you guys how GOOD this app is. When I first bought iPhone, iPad etc, I thought it was perfect except you can’t backup many photos. However, with this app, I can backup photos as much as I want. Therefore, you guys, get this app before it gets famous and expensive. Thank you so much developer for this AMAZING app! Oh and by the way, after backing up the photos, I realized that I didn’t have any photo sliders, which I needed for my parents so I searched up and I found a app called “picturella” from the same developer which my parents LOVE. Guys. Just install the app.

### 5/5 — 사진백업

사진백업 및 정리는 그냥 이거 받아서 정리하면 한번에 끝이네요 별도 폴더 안만들어도 시간과 장소별로 폴더 쫙 정리됩니다 이번에 부모님과 해외여행다녀와서 사진백업하고 포토앨범만드느라 받아보았는데 정말 최고 편했어요 게다가 이런 노가다 다해주는 앱이 무료 ㅋㅋ 속도도 엄청 빠릅니다 AI 따로없네요 완전 추천하는 앱입니다!
