Geneanet Upload
Geneanet Upload is a macOS genealogy companion app that sends GEDCOM family trees plus linked photos and documents to Geneanet.
What is Geneanet Upload?
Geneanet Upload is a genealogy utility for Mac that helps users transfer a family tree and its linked media to Geneanet. It is designed for people who maintain their research in desktop genealogy software and want to publish or update that data online without uploading each file manually. The app imports a GEDCOM export from another genealogy program, signs in to a Geneanet account, and uploads the tree together with associated photos, PDFs, and archival records. It can also help create a first online tree during the initial import and then synchronize later updates by sending new or changed content. On macOS, it fits into a workflow where family historians prepare a GEDCOM file locally and use Geneanet Upload to move that material to their Geneanet tree.
Key features
- Upload a GEDCOM family tree to a Geneanet account

- Create a new online tree during the first import
- Update an existing Geneanet tree with new or changed content

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app is used to upload genealogy files and related media to your Geneanet account, so access to local family-tree files and attached images or documents is normal for its purpose. The main privacy consideration is that genealogical records and family media can contain sensitive personal or family information, so review what you include before uploading and choose your visibility settings carefully. Removing the app does not remove content already uploaded to your online account.
Recommendation: Keep Geneanet Upload if you actively use Geneanet to publish or update a family tree with linked media from your Mac. If you no longer use that workflow, you can remove the app and any leftover support files without affecting macOS, though your local genealogy data and online Geneanet content should be managed separately.
