There are two types of people in this world: those that organise every file into a system of folders within folders, and those who just dump everything in My Drive and hope for the best. (I’m the latter…)
If you do find yourself somewhere in the middle and want to do a better job of tidying things up, Google Drive just got a new Gemini feature that’ll help you.
How to have Gemini organise your files
Go to ‘My Drive’ in Google Drive
Click the new ‘Suggest file moves’ button in the top left
Review the suggestions (quick tip: double check both the ‘Move to an existing folder’ and ‘Move into a new folder’ sections)
[Optional] Uncheck anything you want to leave where it is
[Optional] Click a suggested location to change it (unfortunately you have to do this for each suggestion individually)
Click ‘Move files’
That’s it! I love how simple and helpful it is. Currently, a blocker for me is that it doesn’t seem to suggest Shared Drives. I’m hoping we’ll see that get updated in future!
