Drive folders collapse over time.
Clients pile up and folders multiply. "Clients > Acme > 2024 > Final > final_v3" becomes a maze, and you open folder after folder to find one file.
Scroll and the folder tree turns into a tag layer. The files stay exactly where they are in Drive.
Mise en place: Everything in its place.
Metadata-first. Tagging doesn't move your files. Just like professional mise en place in a kitchen, we prep them in FolderPls with the tags you need (status, channel, campaign). No chaos in Drive, no chaos in FolderPls.
Connect Drive
Sign in with Google and allow Drive access. FolderPls only gets access to the files you choose.
Add Metadata & Filter
Tag files without moving them. Filter by tag, status, date or file type.
Open in Drive
When you're ready to use a file, jump straight to its original location in Drive.
Ready to serve, step by step.
The visuals use sample data.
Pick what to organize
Open the Google Picker and choose from your Drive. Files stay exactly where they are — nothing moves.
Tag your files
Add campaign, status, or team tags. Their location in Google Drive never changes.
Set an expiry date
Give a tag an end date. Once it has passed, the tag drops off the file the next time you open FolderPls.
Filter by tag
Filter by tag, status, or name — find what you need in seconds.
Auto-tag, if you want
Suggests tags from file type, folder and date. Nothing runs until you approve it.
Complexity in. Clarity out.
The Knowledge Graph shows how the files you tagged connect: files, folders and tags in one interactive map. On Team plans, shared tags connect files across teammates.

Shared tags glow across folders — spot every connection instantly

Open in Drive
Found the file? Open it in its original Drive location with one click.
Team Tags
Marketing, Sales, Product... make it obvious which files belong to which team.
Custom Status
Draft, Review, Final. Track each file through its lifecycle.
Drive Permissions
Your Drive permissions stay exactly the same. We never change who can see what.
No Workspace account? Label your files anyway.
Drive's own labels are created by administrators for Drive used at work or school, and only some Google Workspace editions support them. If you are on a personal Google account and still want labels, FolderPls is for you.
