Keep your work photos out of your personal camera roll. OneLens is a camera app that uploads photos and videos directly to your cloud as you take them. They never touch Apple's Photos app. No filenames to enter, no folders to browse, no repeated upload prompts. Open the app, take the photo, done. Straight to the cloud Photos go directly to OneDrive, Google Drive, Google Photos, or Dropbox. Choose your destination folder and define how files are named — by date, time, or both. Stays off your camera roll Everything shot in OneLens lives only in your cloud. You can use iPhone Camera for personal photos, OneLens for everything else.

About

ToFolder

Read full description

Photograph your work and the pictures land where they belong. ToFolder is a camera that saves into folders you name. Create "Site A", "Damage Report", "Invoices" — pick one, and everything you shoot goes there, not into an endless camera roll mixed with everything personal. WHY IT EXISTS Photograph a site, damage, a delivery, a handover, and three things go wrong. The pictures get lost among your personal photos. Sending them means selecting dozens by hand. And messaging apps strip out the date and location, so what was proof stops being proof. CAPTURE INTO A FOLDER Choose a folder before you shoot. Photos stay inside the app unless you switch on saving to your camera roll. A REAL CAMERA • Photo and video, front and rear • Night mode for low light • Flash, timer, exposure, filters, aspect ratio • Zoom, including digital zoom that crops without re-compressing • Photo quality: High, Medium or Low DATE AND LOCATION, TWO WAYS Save Location in Photo Info writes the GPS coordinates inside the file, in the standard metadata. The picture stays clean — tap the date in the viewer to see where it was taken. Works for videos too. Burn Date & Location onto Photo paints them permanently into the image, for when the photo must travel through an app that deletes file metadata. The stamp survives because it is the picture. A clean archive copy and a stamped proof copy are different jobs. Most apps offer one; ToFolder offers both. FOLDERS YOU CAN MANAGE • Create, rename and delete folders • Move photos and videos between folders • Select several folders at once to export or delete them together • Search folders by name MORE THAN PHOTOS • Import documents — PDFs and other files — from another app • Save links with a title you choose • Rename any document or link later, from the gallery FIND THINGS AGAIN Search folders by name, and links and documents inside a folder. The search understands how people actually type — accents, diacritics and letter variants all match. THE GALLERY Photos grouped by date. Pinch to zoom, with edge-aware sharpening so deep zoom stays crisp. Photo info shows name, date, dimensions, size and location. EXPORT A WHOLE FOLDER AS ONE FILE Long-press a folder and export it as a ZIP, then send it wherever you like. One file instead of ninety attachments, and the photos keep their original quality and metadata — a ZIP is a container, not a re-encoder. Anyone with ToFolder can restore that archive and get the folders and photos back as they were, without overwriting anything. This is also your way out — your photos are never locked inside the app. YOUR LANGUAGE English, Arabic, Turkish, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese. WHERE YOUR DATA LIVES Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-in, no server that receives your photos. Location is only read when you turn that option on, and it is written into your own files. FREE AND PRO ToFolder has a permanently free tier — not a trial, not a countdown. Free includes the complete camera with every mode, up to 3 folders, 3 saved links and 3 ZIP exports, plus search, the gallery, rename, document import and location in photo info. Pro is a one-time purchase — lifetime. It permanently unlocks every local feature: unlimited folders, links and documents, unlimited ZIP export, exporting several folders at once, moving photos between folders, and the date and GPS stamp. No subscription, nothing renews. WHO IT IS FOR Contractors documenting progress and defects. Delivery drivers recording handovers and damage. Claims assessors. Property managers. Field technicians. And anyone who has scrolled through six months of camera roll looking for one photo of one invoice.
