Gemini can suggest Drive file shifts and new folders. For “Organizing My Files” is Workspace or Google AI access required. The tool is useful, but still feels limited and incomplete. I am Apple- Guy. I own an iPhone and a Mac since 2007, so of course I am also a long-term user of iCloud Photos and iCloud Drive. I pay $10 per month for the 2-TB iCloud+ plan because there are 488 GB of data stored there, including almost 40,000 photos. Don't judge me. The real problem is that I am also a strong Google user, especially workspace apps. After using Google Drive for 14 years, I have saved 340 GB of data from all Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and Gmail messages created by me, not to mention the file uploads. So I pay $20 a month for Google AI Pro, which offers me 5 TB storage space and access to Gemini AI. And because I apparently need all subscriptions, I also pay $20 a month for ChatGPT Plus. I have to shorten my subscriptions

I know... I need to reduce subscription costs somewhere. I was wondering if I was chattingGPT terminate or reduce my Google usage somehow to such an extent that I no longer have to pay for additional drive storage. Realistically, I don't think I could ever reduce my data to the 15 GB that Google provides to me for free. My drive has become so discourageable that I have for the most part stopped making it clear. The funny thing is that I'm hyperorganized. In my pantry there are matching glasses with labels. My daughter's toy room has space for everything. But my Google Drive? A garbage dump. What can I say? Elyse was not so well organized before her parents. Since my drive was never in a good place, I have been collecting files, photos, screenshots, PDFs, tax documents, designs, downloads and random digital garbage for years without real supervision. I keep pushing the cleaning out. Recently the idea came to me that an AI service could connect to my drive and help me quickly organize it with a few clicks. Then I realized that my drive contained things like my home certificate, a copy of my will, and the business data of my LLC, and that it suddenly seemed too much for me to give far-reaching access to my personal data to any third party. So here we are. My drive is still inadmissible and my subscriptions are still multiplying. Joy. I really love this in this economy. Can “organize my files” clean up my drive? But today I have discovered a small introduction of Google: The “Organizing My Files” feature is now available. Can Gemini really help me clean up, organize and simplify my drive? Apparently, it uses Gemini AI to suggest moving loose files in Drive to existing folders or creating new folders for related files. And I can check everything before something moves. If that works, maybe one day I can move my data out of Drive and finally cancel my Google AI Pro plan. Maybe. Once. How “Organizing My Files” works. What you need: A Google account with an insanely chaotic drive. Oh, and Google’s “Organizing My Files” feature is currently limited to Google Workspace and Google AI subscribers. The intelligent workspace functions must also be enabled to display them in Drive. Look at a new button called “Suggest file shifts” in the file and folder list above in “My Save”. According to Google, it is displayed in “My Drive” as well as in the parent folders of drive. When you click on “Suggest file transfers”, a new window “Organizing My Files” will be opened, where Gemini begins to analyze loose files and propose ways to clean up. It is time to use check boxes to select all files or folders provided by Gemini or to cancel the selection. If a proposed folder name is strange, simply name it. Also check the objectives of the folders. If they are not correct, change the target. Once the suggestions look right and you are satisfied, approve the changes. Gemini then performs file or folder shifts in a stack and returns to “My drive”. After all this, Gemini suggested 19 trains. Nineteen. Most of the files I had recently created or uploaded were displayed. Some of the suggestions made sense. Gemini wanted to move my CV and some CVs where I had helped family members to an existing CV folder. It was also proposed to create a new family and real estate folder for home documents as well as a travel planning folder for upcoming summer travel plans that I have stored in Drive. But one of the files grouped under “travel planning” literally called “leaving” because it is a document that I want to delete. Gemini was not aware of this and also did not propose to delete it. To make it clear: I have hundreds of gigabytes of data and years of disorder in Google Drive. Nevertheless, I agreed to the amendments recommended by Gemini. For fun, I ran the tool again. After about 30 seconds it suggested the same: the same file shifts, the same new folders and the same changes it had just made. It feels unprecedented. It is not at all the comprehensive cleaning assistant for Drive, which I hoped and needed. Maybe it'll be better with time. It just came out of the beta phase and it is possible that Google improves the way Gemini Drive scans, prioritizes older files, recognizes obvious recycle bin and displays deeper organizational suggestions. I just don't want to click 500 times on it, hoping it will find something new every time. It looks like I'm still stuck with an incorrigible drive and a 20-dollar AI pro subscription... for the first time.
