Every new file,
named and filed for you.
Forward an email, drop into an inbox, or upload directly. Filently gives every file a clean name and the right folder in your Google Drive — automatically, on arrival.
Managing files in Google Drive
shouldn't be a daily task.
Every file needs two decisions
What do I call this? Where does it go? Multiply by every invoice, contract, scan and receipt — hours a week lost to filing, not working.
Files arrive from everywhere
Email attachments, phone scans, Drive uploads, shared links. Each channel ends the same way: a filename like IMG_0482.jpg dropped somewhere you'll never find it again.
Rules and automations break
Zapier flows, Drive labels, naming templates — they work until a vendor changes a filename pattern or you forget the rules you set up six months ago.
Set it up once.
Files manage themselves.
Connect Drive, choose how files arrive, let Filently handle every new document from there.
Connect your Google Drive
One-click OAuth. Filently creates a _ Filently Inbox folder in your Drive — the landing zone for new files. Nothing is moved out of your Drive.
Choose how files arrive
Forward emails to your personal Filently address, drop files into the inbox folder directly from Drive, or upload from the Filently app. All three feed the same pipeline.
Filently names and files everything
Each new document is scanned, given a clean consistent name, and moved into the right folder in your Google Drive. High-confidence files auto-file; anything uncertain waits for your one-click approval.

One system
for every file that arrives.
Filently isn't a one-off cleanup. It's the filing layer that sits between your inbox and your Drive — forever.
Files stay in your Drive. Always.
Filently reads, renames and moves — it never stores your documents and never deletes anything. Cancel any time and every file stays exactly where Filently put it in your Google Drive.
Three intake channels, one result
Email forwarding, inbox folder, direct upload. Every channel ends with the same thing: a cleanly named file in the correct folder of your Google Drive — no matter how it arrived.

People who value their time
love Filently.
It works amazingly, both the automated folder structure and file sorting. It handled files in 3 languages with perfect understanding.
