What's new in Folio

v2.1.0

March 11, 2026

Added

Live Sync — your galleries and sidebar now update automatically when changes are made on SmugMug from another device or the web. New uploads, deleted images, and rearranged photos appear within about 30 seconds, with minimal impact on performance
Bulk Create Folders & Galleries from CSV — build out complex folder and gallery structures in one go. Right-click any folder or use File → Bulk Create from CSV (⌘⇧K) to import a spreadsheet. You can apply album templates, set folder privacy, generate guest upload URLs, and copy or export the results when done. Safe to re-run — existing folders are detected and reused
Gallery Preset picker — quickly apply an album template to any gallery right from the top of the Gallery Settings panel

Changed

Thumbnails now load faster and use less memory thanks to a new image loading engine with automatic disk caching

Fixed

Folder and gallery names containing special characters like "&" no longer fail to create
Processing thumbnails now refresh properly once SmugMug finishes processing your uploads
Bulk Create no longer accidentally creates duplicate folders when multiple galleries share the same parent
Bulk Create now shows clear warnings if applying a template or generating a guest upload URL fails for a gallery, instead of failing silently
Bulk Create error messages now include the full count of skipped items when a parent folder fails to create
Bulk Create CSV export now shows an error if the file cannot be saved, instead of failing silently
Bulk Create result URLs are now clickable — view your new galleries or guest upload links directly from the results table
