Sort a messy Google Drive into folders and clear out duplicates

Claude in ChromeHands-on reviewDec 2025

A TechRadar reviewer asked Claude in Chrome to put order into a Google Drive with hundreds of loose files. It grouped them into folders and set aside the ones it was unsure about.

What they did

After installing the extension and giving it access to Drive, the reviewer asked it to go through the documents and spreadsheets and arrange related files into folders. Claude worked through the files in the browser and kept a pile of uncertain items aside instead of guessing.

What happened

The reviewer says close to 900 loose files ended up in six top-level folders with subfolders, and nearly 50 duplicates were tidied away.

Keep in mind

One reviewer's own Drive; the article does not say how long it took or whether any file was misfiled. Files Claude was unsure about still had to be placed by hand.

Try it with your agent

Go through the files in <your Google Drive folder> and propose a folder structure that groups related documents by <client, project or year>. Show me the plan before moving anything. Then move the files, list any likely duplicates instead of deleting them, and put files you are unsure about in a folder called <To review>.

Replace the <angle brackets> with your own details.
