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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
