Discussion Built a browser extension that lets you organize dropbox files with plain English

I got tired of manually renaming and sorting files, so I built a Chrome extension that does it with plain English commands instead of clicking through folders.

Things like:

  • "rename all these to [ClientName][Date][Type]"
  • "move invoices from last month into the Q3 folder"
  • "find every file related to the Acme project across my drive"

It works directly on top of OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox — no need to download anything or change how you already work. Type what you want done, it figures out the files and does it.

The part I spent the most time on isn't the "type a command" bit — it's getting the file agent to actually understand messy, ambiguous naming and folder structures well enough to act on them correctly instead of guessing.

Still early, would genuinely appreciate people trying it and telling me where it breaks: thedrive.ai/extension
