A quiet, reliable file platform for schools, MATs, and universities. On-prem and cloud storage in a single drive, self-service password resets, and apps for every device in the classroom.
Staff and students sign in with the directory you already run – Active Directory, Entra, Google Workspace. Class, year and tutor groups come straight from the directory or, where it doesn’t carry them, a CSV import from your MIS. Group memberships propagate through to share access.
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Entra ID, ADFS, Active Directory. Self-service password resets via verified email and SMS for staff and students – no IT ticket.
Mac, Windows, iPad, Chromebook. The same files, the same permissions, in any classroom. Native apps for staff laptops; browser access for shared devices and bring-your-own.
Time-windowed write access, automatic close on deadline, tutor view across the class. Captur scans paper hand-ins back into the share with the right student attached.
Foldr mounts OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams as a real drive on staff Macs and Windows machines. No OneDrive sync client, no “online only” placeholders, no Mac sync horror stories. Office and classroom apps save back the way they always did, and staff on A1 or A1 Plus get the same files in Office for the web straight from the drive. Same drive carries Google Drive, Dropbox, on-prem SMB shares and the rest of your storage too.
Share a folder with the class group, set a deadline, walk away. When a student uploads, Foldr auto-creates their named subfolder. Tutors see the whole class at a glance; students see their own work and nobody else’s. Need to give one student an extension? Override their deadline alone. Set the deadline as soft, hard, or final depending on how strict you need to be.
Captur takes paper hand-ins back in too: photographed pages from the Foldr mobile app, attached to the right student folder.
Share governor packs through Folio: governors sign in, see only what’s on the agenda, download the latest version. When you replace the agenda the morning of the meeting, the governors see the new one. No more “please disregard my last email”.
Reports, consent forms, prospectus packs. Share with parents through Folio so the school controls who sees what (no public-internet drift), or via password-protected public links for less sensitive material.
Drop an iframe pointing at a Foldr folder onto the school’s website. Update the policy in Foldr; the website reflects the new version immediately. Useful for safeguarding policies, exam timetables, anything that changes more often than the website itself does.
Give a folder its own email address. Whatever’s sent to it lands in the folder, sender details intact, attachments saved, email signatures optionally stripped. Useful for permission-slip return paths and external supplier submissions.
Class lists, departments, year groups change every term. Foldr keeps up. Group memberships flow in from Active Directory, Entra or Google Workspace directly, or from your MIS via standard CSV import. Foldr’s share structure tracks teaching groups and tutor groups automatically; no rebuilding folder structures every September.
