What is group.com.folivora.BTTShared?

~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.folivora.BTTShared is a shared app data folder used by BetterTouchTool on macOS. Group Containers let related app components access the same files, which helps the app keep settings, presets, automation data, and other shared resources available across its features. Users commonly encounter this folder when reviewing Library storage, removing an app, or troubleshooting settings that are not syncing correctly between the app’s own components. This is user-level application data rather than a macOS system component. Removing it can reset shared BetterTouchTool data and may break custom gestures, shortcuts, triggers, or other personalized behavior until the app recreates the folder or you restore your configuration.

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

This folder is associated with BetterTouchTool shared data, and that matches the com.folivora naming used by the product. Group container folders are a normal macOS mechanism for sharing app data between related components. The main risk is data loss: deleting the folder can remove shared configuration or automation content that BetterTouchTool relies on. If you still use BetterTouchTool, keep a backup of your presets before removing this folder.

Recommendation: Keep this folder if you use BetterTouchTool or want to preserve its shared settings and customizations. If you have fully uninstalled BetterTouchTool and no longer need its presets or automation data, you can remove this folder. If you are unsure, move it aside first and confirm your BetterTouchTool setup still works before deleting it permanently.
