Your library

Folio keeps your PDFs in an ordinary folder, ~/Documents/Folio by default. There's no database or import step that hides files from Finder: what you see in Folio is what's in the folder.

Add PDFs#

• Drag PDFs onto the library window.
• Choose File › Import PDFs… (⇧⌘I). The files are copied into the current folder, and the originals stay put.
• Choose File › Open… (⌘O) to read a PDF from anywhere without copying it.

Files you add to the folder in Finder appear in Folio right away.

Organize#

Choose File › New Folder (⇧⌘N) to make a folder. Right-click a document to rename it, show it in Finder, or Add to Favorites (⌘D). The Favorites tab on the home screen lists the ones you've marked.

The home screen shows documents as a grid or a list, sorted the way you choose.

Move the library#

In Settings › Library, choose Change… next to Folder to point Folio at another folder, such as one in iCloud Drive. Folio doesn't move the existing files.

Moodle courses#

If you use Findle, your synced Moodle courses appear under Moodle in the sidebar. They're read-only in Folio. See Moodle courses.
