The problem it solves

Uploading many files one by one and making sure they land in the correct folder eats up your afternoon. You end up with duplicate folders or files scattered in the wrong place because everyone organizes things a little differently.

Who it fits

A business or team that regularly collects files from clients or staff and needs them filed consistently.

How it works

  1. Someone submits files and a folder name through a form
  2. The system checks whether that folder already exists in Google Drive
  3. It creates the folder if needed, or uses the existing one
  4. All the files are uploaded into that folder automatically
What you get

Files that land in the right folder automatically

Anyone can submit a batch of files and a folder name, and everything gets filed neatly into Google Drive exactly where it belongs.

What you get

A tidy Google Drive folder containing every uploaded file, filed in the right place.

What you need

A Google Drive 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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
