Google Drive File Management

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.

Three ways files can arrive — one consistent result.
Files are renamed and filed directly in your Drive.
No rules to build, no maintenance, no lock-in.

The problem

Managing files in Google Drive
shouldn't be a daily task.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

How it works

Set it up once.
Files manage themselves.

Connect Drive, choose how files arrive, let Filently handle every new document from there.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

What Filently does

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.

Content-based, not filename-based
Filently reads the actual document — vendor, date, amount, document type — and names from that. A scan0032.pdf becomes 2026-03-14_Invoice_Acme.pdf.
Review queue, not blind trust
Every suggested name and folder is visible before it's applied. Auto-file high confidence; review the rest with one click.
No duplicates
Filently checks before it files. The same PDF arriving twice won't create two copies — it's recognized and skipped.
20+ languages, all file types
PDFs, DOCX, XLSX, scans, photos. German, English, French, Spanish and more. Filently handles the full mix without setup.

FAQ

Google Drive file management — your questions answered

Three ways, all ending in your Google Drive. One, forward an email to your personal Filently address and attachments land in your Drive inbox folder. Two, drop a file directly into the _ Filently Inbox folder from Drive. Three, upload from the Filently web app. Pick one channel or use all three — the result is identical.
Both. Filently watches the inbox folder continuously — every new file that arrives, from any of the three channels, is renamed and filed. You can also drop your existing backlog into the inbox to clean up historical files the same way.
Directly into the right folder of your Google Drive. Filently reads the document, matches it against your folder structure, and moves it. No staging layer, no separate Filently storage. If you don’t have a structure yet, Filently can build one for you first.
You see every suggestion in the review queue before it’s applied. Auto-file is opt-in per confidence level. If a file lands in the wrong spot, you can move it in Drive and Filently learns — it won’t make the same call twice.
It’s replaced with a clean, consistent version. IMG_0482.jpg becomes 2026-04-12_Receipt_Migros.jpg. The original is renamed in place — not duplicated — so your Drive doesn’t fill up with two copies of every file.
No. Filently scans each file to identify type, date and context, then doesn’t keep a copy. No AI training on your data. Processed in EU cloud infrastructure. GDPR-compliant and CASA Tier 2 certified.
Every file Filently named and filed stays exactly where it is in your Google Drive. No export, no migration, no lock-in. You keep 100% of what Filently organized, forever.
