What this agent helps you do
A Google Drive folder cleanup agent helps teams make shared folders easier to use. It identifies stale drafts, duplicate-looking files, unclear ownership, missing naming patterns, and documents that should be archived or migrated.
When to use this workflow
Use it before project handoffs, after a launch, before onboarding a new teammate, or when a folder has become the place where everyone stores everything.
How Google Drive gives the agent context
Connect Drive and provide the folder, date range, file types, or cleanup rules. Ask the agent to preserve links, mark uncertainty, and recommend changes for approval rather than deleting or moving files silently.
Example starter prompt
Review this Google Drive folder and prepare a cleanup plan. Identify stale files, duplicates, missing owners, naming issues, files to archive, and a recommended structure. Do not move or delete files without approval.Suggested workflow steps
The agent inventories files, groups them by type and recency, identifies likely cleanup actions, and prepares owner questions for ambiguous documents.
Expected handoff
The output should include a cleanup table, recommended folder structure, archive candidates, and approval-needed actions. It can become an operations task list.
