The full FolderStream tour

Your collection, easier to see, find, and enjoy.

FolderStream turns videos in folders and connected drives into a private visual library. Keep your original files where they are while you browse, organise, watch, and rediscover them in one place.

See what you have

A visual library for the videos you already own.

Choose your video folders and FolderStream brings their contents together. Generated thumbnails, clear cards, and preview frames make it easier to recognise a moment than a filename ever could.

A closer look

Preview a moment before pressing Play.

Move across video cards to reveal frames from inside each clip. FolderStream keeps generated previews on your device so browsing stays quick. The recording shows the previews changing across three videos.

Thumbnail preview

Three FolderStream video cards showing an island, seabirds at sunset, and a mountain view.

Find it your way

Less remembering filenames. More finding the right video.

Use the clues you actually remember—people, places, projects, tags, and favourites—to make a large collection feel manageable.

Search & filter

Narrow a collection quickly.

Search by title and filter by library, tags, playlists, profiles, favourites, and watch status.

Names & cover art

Make each video recognisable.

Add a clear title or choose custom cover art when a filename or generated thumbnail does not tell the story.

Tags & playlists

Collect what belongs together.

Group family moments, trips, work clips, or projects without moving the original files.

Favourites

Keep the good ones close.

Mark the videos you return to most often and find them again from your library.

Find the people in your videos.

People Recognition checks new or changed videos as your library is prepared and suggests face groups. You can name a person, confirm or correct matches, or leave suggestions alone. It can also notice faces while you watch.
