Technical info

How it works

Hide Folders uses the standard functionality of the Mac Operating System to make files and folders invisible. The files and folders that are hidden, remain in the same place they were in when they were visible, and they move when you move the folders that contain them. You can learn more  about how does it work at our support page.
