Folders & Drives

Use the folders and drives you already have. Your files stay where they are.

Add the top folders you already use on your computer, external drives, USB sticks and SD cards, or synced Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive folders. Your designs come into one library without being moved, renamed or uploaded.

Feature 01

Add a folder once. Everything inside comes in.

Add the top folder and the supported designs inside it come into the library, however many subfolders deep. New designs saved there later show up on their own.

StandoutNothing is moved or renamedAdding a folder does not move, rename or upload your files. CutVault only changes a file when you ask it to, such as renaming it.

Every place you keep designs.

Feature 03

Unplug a drive. Nothing is lost.

When a drive is unplugged, CutVault names the folders it cannot reach and says why. Reconnect the drive and its designs are back in the library, with their tags, categories and notes.

01Will CutVault move, rename or upload my files?

No. Your files stay where they are. CutVault only changes a file when you ask it to, such as renaming it from inside the app.

02Which locations can I add?

Folders on your computer, external drives, USB sticks and SD cards, and Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive folders synced to your computer.

03Does CutVault work with a NAS?

Mounted network locations, such as a NAS, may work depending on your setup, but CutVault does not officially support NAS configurations. Reliability can depend on network speed, permissions, security settings, sleep behavior and other factors outside CutVault. For the most predictable results, keep your library on local drives, external drives or synced cloud folders.

04What happens if I unplug a drive?

CutVault names the folders it cannot reach. Nothing is lost, and the designs come back when you reconnect the drive.

05Do I have to reorganize my folders first?

No. Add them as they are. To turn your folder layout into categories, use Build from Folders.

06Is CutVault cloud storage?

No. It works with the synced folders on your computer and does not upload your designs. Your design files stay on your computer.

07Is Folders & Drives sold separately?

No. Folders & Drives is included with CutVault Pro. The $169 one-time price is for the complete CutVault desktop app, not for this feature on its own.
