En esta aplicación se pueden crear carpetas o gestionar las carpetas ya creadas de Google drive para guardar en ellas Google docs y poder mejorar la organización de estas. Al pulsar sobre un documento se abrirá directamente en la app de Google docs o bien en la web. Podremos mover los Google docs entre carpetas, así como los documentos que no tenemos en carpetas añadirlos en una. Se podrá eliminar tanto una carpeta con sus correspondientes documentos o bien un documento en específico. Estos pasarán a estar en la papelera de Google drive.También se podrá cambiar el nombre de la carpeta o de un documento en específico. Todo esto se sincroniza tanto con Google drive como con Google docs. Lo que nos garantiza que si creamos una carpeta desde la web con documentos dentro se verán en la app. Solo se gestionan Google docs, otro tipo de archivos no se verán o se podrán gestionar. Ya están dentro de una carpeta o no. Debido a que se trata de una aplicación sin ánimo de lucro no se ha podido verificar con Google porque se necesita tener un dominio para ello, en próximas versiones se planea corregir. Los datos creados, eliminados o cualquier tipo de datos lo podrá ver solo y exclusivamente el usuario, el equipo de desarrollo y derivados no tiene acceso.
