The problem it solves

Every new client, project, or employee means creating the same folder structure in Dropbox by hand. It is easy to forget a folder, misname one, or lose track of where things should go, especially when you are doing it under time pressure.

Who it fits

Small businesses or teams that need a consistent folder structure in Dropbox for every new client or project.

How it works

  1. Starts when you run it for a new client or project
  2. Creates the folder structure inside your Dropbox account
  3. Organizes files into the right folders automatically
  4. Confirms the folders are ready to use
What you get

Folders set up the same way every time

Every new client or project gets its own consistent Dropbox folder structure set up for you, ready before you save the first file.

What you get

A ready-to-use, correctly named folder structure in Dropbox.

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.

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