The problem it solves

Someone sends you a zip file full of documents, and you have to download it, extract it, and upload each file one by one to the right shared folder. If there are dozens of files, this becomes a real time sink. You just want the files in Drive, not a chore standing in the way.

Who it fits

Teams who collect files from clients or vendors and need them organized in Google Drive.

How it works

  1. Someone uploads a zip file through a form
  2. The zip file is opened up and its contents separated
  3. Each file inside is identified with its original name
  4. Every file is uploaded individually to your chosen Google Drive folder
What you get

Files landing already sorted in Drive

Every file inside a zip upload lands in your Google Drive folder individually, organized and ready to use.

What you get

Every file from the zip archive uploaded to Google Drive under its original name.

What you need

A Google Drive account and a way to collect file uploads, such as an online form.

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.
