The problem it solves

You start a new client engagement and the first thing you do is create the same folder structure by hand, again. It's easy to name things inconsistently or forget a subfolder, and then files end up scattered across your desktop and inbox instead of one place your team can find them.

Who it fits

Any small business or agency that starts a new folder structure for every client or project.

How it works

  1. You start the process for a new client or project.
  2. The automation creates a new folder in Dropbox with a consistent name.
  3. The folder is ready immediately for your team to start adding files.
What you get

A new client folder set up instantly

A fresh, organized Dropbox folder is ready the moment you start a new client or project, with a consistent naming pattern.

What you get

A ready-to-use, consistently named Dropbox folder for the new client or project.

What you need

A Dropbox account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
