After you install

On first launch you’ll sign in and choose a folder to sync. From then on the app keeps that folder in sync automatically and updates itself — only from signed builds. Need an account? Ask your FolderNetwork administrator.

If your system warns that the app is unsigned

Apple and Microsoft code-signing certificates are still an ops step. Until those land, some operating systems show a one-time safety prompt:

macOS: right-click (or Control-click) the app and choose Open, then Open again. You only do this once.

Windows: on a blue “Windows protected your PC” screen, click More infoRun anyway. You only do this once.

Linux: extract the tarball and run ./FolderNetwork/FolderNetwork. Keep that folder together (the binary needs _internal). If the file is not executable: chmod +x FolderNetwork/FolderNetwork.

Auto-update still refuses a build that is not signed by FolderNetwork’s update key, even if the OS prompt is bypassed.
