Help with Foldlark: File Finder for Android.

Add a folder

Tap the folder-plus button, choose a folder in Android’s Files picker, then choose “Use this folder” and allow access. Foldlark indexes its available metadata. Add more folders to search them together.

A folder or provider is missing

Android restricts access to internal-storage roots, the Downloads root, and Android/data or Android/obb. Choose a subfolder instead. A storage provider must support selecting and reading whole folders; support for individual files does not guarantee folder access. Make sure the provider is installed, connected and signed in through its own app.

Search and refresh

Search covers file names and, when enabled in Filters, folder paths. It does not search the text inside documents. Results reflect the last completed refresh. Use Refresh to see changes, or Manage locations to refresh one folder. Scans stop when Foldlark leaves the foreground. Your previous complete index remains available if a refresh stops or fails.

Preview and share

Tap a file to prepare a read-only temporary copy. Foldlark previews supported images, PDFs and text. Use Open with for other formats, or Share a copy to choose a destination. Files managed by a provider may need to download. Preview and sharing support files up to 250 MB; text previews display up to 250,000 characters. Your original files remain unchanged.

Limits and availability

A library supports up to 200,000 indexed files and folders. Choose smaller folders or remove unused locations if you reach the limit. “Provider managed” means the provider has not reliably identified a file as stored on your device; it does not mean the file is necessarily offline or online.

Remove a location

Open Manage locations and choose Remove. Foldlark deletes the saved index for that location and releases its access. Your files are not deleted. If access expires, remove the location and add it again through Files.
