Exit Kit
Google Takeout, WhatsApp, iCloud, Amazon Photos, OneDrive — FolioSort recognizes the export you downloaded, restores lost dates, clears the duplicates and blurry shots you approve, organizes everything into dated folders, and hands you an Exit Report that proves the archive is complete. All on your computer.
You did the hard part — you asked for your photos back. What lands on your drive is a mess unique to each
service: Google Takeout scatters dates into .json sidecars, WhatsApp strips EXIF so everything
looks like it was taken today, iCloud and Amazon and OneDrive each have their own quirks. Duplicates pile up
across archives, blurry throwaways sit next to keepers, and there's no clean structure.
So the export sits on a drive for a year, and you keep paying the cloud bill because deleting it feels like gambling with your memories.
Point FolioSort at what you downloaded and it walks a single, reversible path: Import → Clean → Organize → Verify. It auto-detects the export type, recovers the dates that service hid or stripped, lets you clear duplicates and blurry shots after you approve them, and rebuilds one clean, dated library.
Then it verifies every moved file with a checksum and produces an exportable Exit Report — files, recovered dates, duplicates removed, bytes. Keep the report, confirm the archive is whole, and cancel the subscription with confidence. Everything runs locally; nothing is uploaded.
How it works
FolioSort auto-detects Google Takeout, WhatsApp, iCloud, Amazon Photos and OneDrive exports, and reads the metadata each one carries.
Exact duplicates and blurry shots are flagged — you review before anything is removed, and every step is undoable.
Rebuild one clean library sorted into dated folders (2019/04/…), with NAS presets available for Synology or Immich.
Every moved file is hash-checked, and a final Exit Report lists files, recovered dates, duplicates removed and bytes — exportable. Keep it before deleting the export.

FolioSort auto-detects Google Takeout, WhatsApp, iCloud, Amazon Photos and OneDrive exports. Point it at the folder you downloaded and it recognizes the export type and the metadata that comes with it — no manual configuration.
Never. The Clean step flags exact duplicates and blurry shots, but you review and confirm before anything is removed — and every step is undoable. Removed files go to the Trash or Recycle Bin, not oblivion.
After the Verify step, FolioSort produces an exportable Exit Report listing the files processed, dates recovered, duplicates removed and total bytes. Keep it as proof your archive is complete before you delete the original cloud export.
No. The Exit Kit runs 100% on your Mac or PC. There are no accounts and nothing is uploaded — you're leaving a cloud, not moving to another one.
The whole Exit Kit runs free — scanning your export, reviewing the cleanup, and generating the Exit Report. The free version organizes the first 100 files per run; Pro removes that limit for a one-time payment, with no subscription or account.
Download FolioSort, point the Exit Kit at your cloud export, and get one clean, verified library — with a report that proves it's all there before you delete a thing.
