Your files stay yours
Documents live in your own storage account the whole time. We store only the categorisation you build around them — never the file contents.
DriveFiler organises the statements, bills, receipts and records already sitting in your OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive. It renames them, files them into folders that make sense, and makes them searchable. Your files never leave your drive, and we never store them.
One month free, then $14.99 USD a year for up to 25 devices. Mac and iPhone apps are on the way. Prefer to start on the web? Create an account.
Most document apps ask you to upload everything into their storage. DriveFiler doesn't. It works inside the drive you already pay for, which changes what happens if you ever walk away.
Documents live in your own storage account the whole time. We store only the categorisation you build around them — never the file contents.
Everything is filed into plainly named folders and files. Stop using DriveFiler tomorrow and you still have a complete, navigable archive — no software required. On Google Drive, one export puts that archive in your My Drive.
Each app keeps its own local copy, so you can file documents on a train and let it catch up later. Categorise on your phone; it's on your desktop.
You connect your drive once and teach DriveFiler your categories as you go. After that, filing a document is a few taps.
Sign in to OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive through their own consent screen. DriveFiler only ever touches the one folder it manages. OneDrive and Dropbox are the ones we recommend — see the FAQ below.
Photograph a paper bill with your phone or import a PDF. On OneDrive and Dropbox you can also drop files straight into the Inbox folder from any machine — DriveFiler picks them up.
Choose the vendor, account, document type, owner, asset and any tags. DriveFiler reads the existing file name and fills in what it can work out for you.
The file is renamed and moved into the right Cabinet folder in your drive. Change a category later and everything filed under it is quietly re-filed to match.
What your drive looks like now

Cabinet/RBC/Visa/RBC_Visa_2016-12-19_Receipt.pdfMac and iPhone are to follow. Whichever you use, your categorisation is the same on every device.
The full desktop app: preview, bulk filing, migration between drives and CSV export.
Photograph paper documents with the camera scanner, then file them on the spot.
A desktop app for the Mac, the next platform after Windows and Android.
The same capture-and-file workflow as Android, on Apple's phones and tablets.
No. Your documents stay in your own OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive account for the entire time you use DriveFiler. What we store is the categorisation you build around them — vendor, account, document type, owner, asset, tags, dates, file names and folder paths — so that it can be searched and kept in step across your devices.
Nothing happens to your documents. They are in your storage account, already filed into named folders, and they stay exactly where they are.
On Google Drive, export them first. They are not deleted either, but they sit in private application storage that Drive does not show you, so take a copy with Export My Documents to Google Drive while you still can — it works without a subscription. On OneDrive and Dropbox there is nothing to do. More about Google Drive.
Your categorisation data is kept after a subscription ends so you can pick up where you left off — 90 days if a payment failed, 30 days if you cancelled, and 7 days if you asked us to delete it. Subscribe again inside that window and everything is restored exactly as you left it. You can also export the whole categorisation to CSV from the desktop app at any time — the export works without a subscription, precisely so it is available when you most need it.
Yes — new accounts get one month free. We ask for a payment method when you sign up but do not charge it during the trial; when the month ends, it is charged and your subscription begins. Cancel before then and you pay nothing.
After that DriveFiler is $14.99 USD a year for up to 25 devices. See Pricing for the full details.
Enough to do the filing: upload documents you add, move and rename them when you categorise them, and delete one when you delete it in the app. It only acts inside the single folder it manages, and you grant that through your provider's own sign-in screen. You can withdraw it at any time, from DriveFiler or from your provider's settings.
Your storage provider's access tokens are held on your own devices, not on our servers.
One warning if you withdraw access in Google Drive itself. Its Disconnect from Drive dialog offers to delete DriveFiler's data as well, and Google ticks that box for you — which would delete your filed documents. Untick it. How to disconnect safely.
OneDrive or Dropbox, if you have the choice. On both, DriveFiler files
into an ordinary Apps/DriveFiler folder you can open and browse yourself,
and it is granted access to that folder and nothing else in your account.
Google Drive works, with one difference worth knowing. Google's equivalent is private application storage, which Drive does not display — so your filed documents are not browsable from the Drive website or app, and an export is how you take a copy you can browse. We chose that over the alternative Google offers, which is permission to read and change everything in your Drive — far more than DriveFiler needs. The full detail is in the help.
Yes. A subscription covers up to 25 devices, and your categorisation syncs between all of them. Each app also keeps a local copy, so it keeps working when you are offline and catches up when you reconnect.
The Windows app is available now on the Microsoft Store, and the Android app on Google Play. Mac and iPhone are to follow. Tell us which you are waiting for and we will email you when it lands — and we will not email you about anything else.
Tell us which one you need and we will email you the day it is available. Nothing else — no newsletter.
