Automate Google Drive with Pokee AI
Files pile up in Drive without structure when organization depends on everyone following rules manually. Pokee connects to Google Drive via one-click OAuth and automates file management - organizing uploads, enforcing naming conventions, and routing documents to the right folders.
What Pokee Can Do with Google Drive
- Organize files automatically by content type
- Move attachments from Gmail to specific folders
- Generate shareable links for new uploads
- Monitor folders for new files and trigger workflows
- Backup important documents on schedule
- Rename files using AI-generated conventions
- Set permissions automatically for team files
