Auto-Organize Files by Date
Stop manually sorting downloads—Nora organizes Drive by month and year
Nora watches your Drive and automatically moves new files into year/month folders. Files uploaded today go to 2026/March, last week's files go to their respective months. Never dig through a flat file list again.
Every 6 hours, Nora scans your Google Drive's root and any configured folders, identifies files without a date-based parent folder, and moves them into a clean year/month structure (e.g., 2026/March). It respects existing organization—if a file is already in a custom folder, it stays put. You define the root folder to organize (often Downloads or Inbox) and set rules for file types to skip (e.g., shortcuts, folders, archived items). This works beautifully for businesses that dump everything into Drive and need structure without manual effort. Great for consultants managing client deliverables, teams with high file turnover, or anyone drowning in unsorted uploads.
How it works
- Scan designated Drive folders for unorganized files
- Identify file upload or modification date
- Create year/month folder structure if missing
- Move files to matching date folders automatically
- Log all moves in a summary report
- Skip files already in custom-named folders
