Will it touch files I don't want moved?
DownZero only moves files when you tell it to — by clicking Organize, or by turning on auto-organize (Pro). Out of the box it scans and categorizes files by type (images, documents, archives, etc.) so you can preview where they would go, but nothing is moved until you take action. Custom rules let Pro users override the built-in categorization.
Does it work with iCloud Drive Downloads?
Yes. DownZero uses FSEvents which works across all local and iCloud-synced volumes on your Mac.
