How it works

From a folder to a live library in five steps

No plugin to maintain, no files to upload twice. FolderBloom reads the folder you choose and keeps the website in step with it.

  1. Create a site

    Add the website's domain. www and the bare domain count as one site.

  2. Connect storage

    Sign in to Dropbox or OneDrive and grant read-only access.

  3. Select a folder

    Pick the folder (or subfolder) to publish. Everything outside it stays private.

  4. Customize the layout

    Choose a table, cards or gallery, set colors and what details show, and preview it live.

  5. Embed it

    Paste one line of code into any page — plain HTML, WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace and more.

Behind the scenes

What happens when a file changes

1. Your storage tells us

Dropbox and OneDrive send a change signal. We also re-check every library on a schedule, so a missed signal can't leave the site stale for long.

2. We read only what changed

Using the provider's change cursor, FolderBloom fetches the differences, not the whole folder.

3. Links are matched to files

Each link points at a file's permanent identity. Overwrites and renames keep it; deletes retire it; unclear cases wait for you.

4. Visitors see the update

The embed lists the current files, and downloads stream from your storage — never from a stale copy.
