TITAN OF DRIVE ORGANIZATION

The Weight of Data,
Finally Lifted.

The only file organizer that requires your approval before moving anything.

Preview every move. Approve before it happens. Undo anything, instantly. Atlas uses AI confidence scoring to organize your files — and never touches a single one without your explicit sign-off.

The Problem

You know what an unorganized Drive costs you.

The search tax.Every day you can't find something, you pay in lost time and broken focus. With thousands of files and no consistent structure, it only compounds.

The naming chaos. “Invoice Final FINAL v3 (1).pdf” means three different things in three different contexts. Multiply that by 10,000 files and no one can trust what they're looking at.

The fear of touching it. Reorganizing manually means one wrong move orphans a Google Form from its response data, or moves a file someone else owns, or breaks a shared link. So nothing gets cleaned up. Ever.

“Atlas was built for this exact situation — Drive at scale, with history, with shared files, with stuff you're afraid to touch. It proposes every change. You approve the plan. Nothing runs without you.”

— Matthew Holley, Founder · Holley Studio

Built For

If you use Google Drive for real work, Atlas is for you.

Freelancers & Consultants

Years of client projects, invoices, contracts, and briefs — all in one Drive with no structure. Atlas classifies by file type and context, proposes the right folders, and shows you the plan before touching a single file.

Creative Agencies

Thousands of assets across clients and campaigns. Inconsistent naming from a revolving door of contractors. Atlas standardizes names and structure across your entire Drive in one organized run.

Legal & Finance Teams

Compliance requires knowing what moved, when, by whom, and what it looked like before. Atlas writes an append-only JSONL audit log for every action — GDPR and SOC 2 ready out of the box.

Startups on Google Workspace

Drive starts clean. Then the team grows, clients get added, and three years later nobody knows where anything is. Atlas brings structure back without breaking shared links or moving files you don't own.

The Pipeline

Understand. Plan. Organize.

Every step is explicit. You control when Atlas acts and what it does. Only two commands ever write to Drive.

01

Understand your Drive

atlas scan

Reads Drive metadata. Never file contents. Outputs full inventory.

atlas classify

Confidence scoring across 5 signals: MIME type, extension, keywords, folder context, date patterns.

atlas health

Drive Health Score across 6 dimensions: organization, duplicates, staleness, version sprawl, sharing risk, coverage.

02

Plan the change

atlas plan

Generates move plan. Auto-approves high-confidence files (≥0.90). Flags others for review.

atlas validate

Checks for blocked files — Forms, non-owned — and surfaces warnings before you commit.

atlas dry-run

Full preview. Shows exactly what would move, rename, or be trashed. Zero Drive writes.

atlas review

TUI approval flow or Google Sheets export for team sign-off.

03

Organize and stay organized

atlas execute

Moves and renames approved files. Audit log written before each operation.

atlas rollback-plan

Generate reverse plan from audit log. Undo everything with one command sequence.

atlas watch

Real-time monitoring. New files classified and proposed for organization as they land.

Only atlas execute and atlas trash write to Drive. Every other command is read-only.

What Atlas Does

Everything manual organization can't.

Organize at Scale

  • Move thousands of files into the right folders automatically
  • Auto-create folder structure — no manual setup required
  • Mass rename with configurable naming conventions
  • Detect and stage duplicates for Trash review
  • Export plan to Google Sheets for team approval

Always Safe to Run

  • Dry-run preview before any Drive write
  • Crash-safe audit log — recovery always possible
  • One-command rollback from the audit log
  • Owner-only by default — shared files blocked unless you opt in
  • Google Forms permanently blocked — no data orphaning, ever

Know Your Drive

  • Drive Health Score across 6 dimensions
  • Stale sharing detection — who has access who shouldn't
  • Version sprawl scoring — find the _v3_FINAL_FINAL files
  • GDPR & SOC 2 ready audit trails
  • Natural language search via Claude AI (atlas query)

The Safety Model

Atlas never permanently deletes a single file. Not one.

Six rules are hardcoded into Atlas. They cannot be overridden by config flags, environment variables, or command-line arguments.

01

Rate Limiting

Every Drive API call is wrapped in a rate limiter (5 concurrent, exponential backoff). Quota errors are structurally impossible.

02

Crash-Safe Audit Log

Audit entry written as 'pending' before each move or rename. Updated to 'success' or 'failed' after. If Atlas crashes mid-execute, the log still records exactly what happened.

03

Owner Guard

Files you don't own are blocked by default. Pass --allow-shared to override explicitly — it's never the default behavior.

04

Keychain Tokens

OAuth tokens stored in macOS Keychain via keytar. Never written to a plain file on disk. Industry-standard secret management.

05

Forms Always Blocked

Moving a Google Form permanently severs its link to the response Spreadsheet — data loss with no recovery. Atlas blocks this unconditionally. No flag overrides it.

06

Provider Isolation

All Drive API calls isolated in a dedicated provider layer. Business logic never calls Google directly, enabling full unit testing without real API calls.

What Atlas Never Does

Read or download file contents
Permanently delete files (Trash only — 30-day recovery window)
Touch Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, or any non-Drive Google service
Move or rename without an audit entry written first
Auto-execute without your approval at dry-run or review stage
Move Google Forms

New Files, Instantly Organized

Don't just clean your Drive once.
Keep it clean.

atlas watch subscribes to your Drive's push webhook. Every file that lands in your Drive is immediately scanned, classified, and added to your pending plan. High-confidence files (≥0.90) are flagged for immediate approval. Your Drive stays organized without you doing anything.

  • Real-time push webhook from Google Drive
  • Classifies new files as they land
  • High-confidence files auto-staged for approval
  • Works with any public HTTPS endpoint

Watch mode requires a public HTTPS endpoint for Google's push webhook. Use ngrok in development; any cloud URL in production.

Classified. Every file. Every time.

Mass Rename

One naming convention. Every file.

Atlas doesn't just move files into the right folders — it standardizes names across thousands of files in the same pipeline. Configure your convention once. Atlas proposes every rename. You approve before it runs.

atlas.config.json

json
{
  "namingConvention": {
    "enabled": true,
    "replaceSeparator": "_",
    "removeSpecialChars": true,
    "caseStyle": "lower",
    "stripVersionSuffix": true,
    "datePrefix": true
  }
}
