Foldaway

Help

Answers to the questions people ask most. Something else, or something not working? Tell me below.

Where are my tabs kept?

On your computer, in Chrome's storage for Foldaway. Settings → Backup can export everything to a file whenever you like, or keep a copy in your Chrome bookmarks that stays up to date by itself (and syncs with your Google account if Chrome sync is on).

What happens to my folders if I remove Foldaway?

Chrome deletes Foldaway's storage with it, so export a backup first. A copy in your bookmarks stays, and Foldaway can bring your folders back from it.

I already use another new tab extension. Can I keep it?

Yes. Chrome gives the new tab page to one extension at a time; if another one has it, Foldaway's toolbar button (and Alt+T) still opens your folders in a tab of their own.

Can I bring my tabs from OneTab, Toby or Session Buddy?

Yes: Settings → Backup → Import reads their export files, a list pasted from OneTab, or any browser's bookmarks file.

Does Foldaway cost anything?

No. It's free, with no account to make.

What does the weather send?

Nothing unless you turn it on. Then your city's rough position goes to MET Norway for the forecast, and what you type to find your city goes to Photon, a place search. The privacy policy has the details.

Report a problem

The quickest way is from Foldaway itself: Settings → About Foldaway → Report a problem. It opens a short form with Foldaway's version and settings already filled in for you to check, never your tabs.
