Nobody knows when carriers will send it out, but why not just sign up for the Preview for Developers program and get it right now?

OS updates aren't touched by carriers, they come direct from MS. I reckon it will be a few months before it's released to the public.

I have Preview For Developers three months. When Lumia cyan official come to my model, I don't have update.
I downgraded to windows phone 8.0 and updated to official 8.1 cyan and now I don't have live folders...

All you need to do is download the Preview For Developers app again, activate it and check for updates. It will show Update available, which is the one that has live folders.

This will NOT remove Cyan from your phone. You will still have Cyan. It's firmware unrelated to the OS version.

I know... But GDR1 - Update 1 will be realized only to developer preview users or for cyan too?
Only Developer preview will get GDR 1 update. So to install it on your phone, you must enable developer preview.
NOTE : Even though u have cyan, you must enable developer preview to get GDR 1 at the moment. MS will release the final update OTA after a few months.

Then, I will have official cyan with preview for devs live folders...
Will Live folders be officialy on cyan sometime in the future (Without Preview)?
How can I remove ONLY Preview for developers updates and stay ONLY on cyan? ...and download official update (when it come)?

At present the only way to remove it is by doing the downgrade thing. However, when it's officially released I'm sure there will be some minor update that brings the Preview version in line with that, so you would no longer be on the Preview version.

How to downgrade directly to cyan from Preview?
I can only downgrade to wp8.0 via nokia software recovery tool, NOT on wp8.1 (I don't know why because now is cyan available)

Until the app is updated for downgrading to Cyan, that's the only way it can be done.

Currently there is an app called Files. For now the update in the developer preview, is just that. A developer preview. If you are okay with minor bugs and have lumia cyan already then head on over to the Developer Preview for the gdr1 update.

'Files' is a file manager. Nothing to do with live folders.

You'll have an update in settings.

But why I didn't receive an update in settings yesterday - developer preview to cyan?
Lumia cyan was ready for my model and... I had developer preview 8.1 with GDR1 and no update in settings..
I downgraded to 8.0 and updated to cyan...
That's the reason of this question..
Lumia 1020 is phone.
