The problem
A shared drop folder becomes a landfill. Nobody renames, nobody files, and finding anything means opening twenty documents.
How it works
- Poll the drop folder for new files.
- Identify each by content, not just filename.
- Move it to the destination folder and rename to the convention.
- Record what moved where, so the sort is auditable.
What changes
The drop folder stays empty and the archive stays navigable.
Questions people ask
Can it read the file to decide?
Yes. Extract text from PDFs and documents and classify on content, which is far more reliable than filenames.
Want this built?
This is a pattern we run in production. We will set up the delegation and build this on top of it — $500 per hour, most of it working the same day.
