A Downloads folder nobody has opened since March, and a Desktop full of Scan 2026-03-02.pdf. Share the folder from the desktop app and the assistant reads each file, then names and files it right there on your Mac or PC. Nothing is uploaded.
Sharing a folder from a Mac or PC comes with the Max plan or any Team plan.

Files you already have
Can The Drive AI organize the files already on my computer?
Yes, in place, and without uploading them. Share the folder and the assistant works in it from the app, from Finder, or on a schedule. Sharing folders comes with the Max plan or any Team plan.
The assistant in the appYes, in place
Share the folder from the desktop app and ask the assistant to sort, rename, move, or read what is in it. The files stay on your disk; the assistant keeps a catalogue of them and reads a file only when a task needs it.
Finder on a MacYes, in place
Right-click a folder and choose Quick Actions › Ask The Drive AI about this folder. The desktop app opens the assistant on that folder, catalogued on the spot, without sharing it for good.
Get the desktop appA scheduled workflowYes, in place, on a schedule
Point a workflow at a shared folder and set each run to go through every file rather than only new ones. It reads each file and renames or moves it inside the folder, while the device is on.
How workflows workThe browser extensionNot here
The extension runs on Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Dropbox pages. A folder on a disk is not a page, so the desktop app is the way in.

Ask in a sentence
Sort a folder, rename files, find what is missing, or build a workflow on it. The files stay on your disk; the assistant reads one only when a task needs it.
Approve the plan
Big changes are shown as one plan before anything moves. Deletions go to the Trash or Recycle Bin, and undo puts every file back.
