The problem it solves

Setting up a new folder for every client, project, or job in OneDrive means the same repetitive setup every time, and it's easy to forget or name things inconsistently.

Who it fits

Businesses that create a new OneDrive folder for every new client, project, or job.

How it works

  1. The automation is started for a new client or project
  2. A folder name is set automatically
  3. A new folder is created in OneDrive
  4. The folder is ready for files to be added
What you get

Folders ready before you even ask

You get a new OneDrive folder set up automatically the moment a client or project starts.

What you get

A newly created, consistently named OneDrive folder, ready to use.

What you need

A Microsoft OneDrive 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.
