Terms of use

Short version: FileSort is free, it works on your own files on your own device, and you use it at your own risk.

1. The service

FileSort is a free tool that sorts the files in a folder you choose into subfolders. It runs in your browser. You do not need an account.

2. Your files

Your files remain yours and remain on your device. FileSort does not receive, store or look at them. You are responsible for choosing the right folder and for checking the list before you sort.

Only sort folders that you are allowed to change.

3. Backups

FileSort is built to be safe: it shows what will happen first, never overwrites a file and can undo a sort. Even so, software can have faults, and disks can fail at any time. Keep a backup of files that matter to you.

4. No warranty

FileSort is provided as it is, without any warranty. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost or misplaced files, lost time or any other damage that results from using it or from not being able to use it.

5. Fair use

Do not try to break, overload or misuse the website, and do not present FileSort as your own product.

6. Copyright

The FileSort name, website, text and code are protected by copyright. All rights reserved. You may use the website freely; you may not copy or republish it.

7. Changes

The tool and these terms may change. The date below shows when this page was last changed. If you keep using FileSort after a change, the new terms apply.
