Still playing hide-and-seek with your own files? FileButler is an AI file organizer that sorts, renames, and files your documents directly inside Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive โ the cloud storage you already use. No new app to migrate into. No second inbox to maintain. HOW IT WORKS Connect your Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive account. Upload a file โ snap a photo, pick one from your phone, or scan a paper document with the built-in OCR scanner. FileButler's AI reads the content, suggests a folder path (like Documents/Banks/Statements), and renames it based on what's inside โ not "IMG_4721.jpg" anymore. You review, confirm, done. AI THAT LEARNS YOUR SYSTEM Every file you approve or re-path trains a personal AI model built just for you. Correct it once, and FileButler remembers โ next time a similar receipt, invoice, or contract comes in, it goes straight to the right folder automatically. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN DOCUMENTS Freelancers, accountants, lawyers, real estate agents, and researchers use FileButler to keep client files, receipts, contracts, and case documents organized without lifting a finger. Custom instructions let you set your own rules in plain language โ "file all invoices under Finance" โ and FileButler follows them. KEY FEATURES - Works inside Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive โ no migration - AI document scanner with OCR for paper documents - Smart file renaming based on content, not generic camera names - Automatic folder creation and matching to existing subfolders - Personalized AI that improves with every file you review - Confidence-based Verify tags โ only review what the AI is unsure about - Custom classification rules in plain language - Full review before anything uploads โ nothing moves without your confirmation Supports Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, JPG, PNG, HEIC, and text files โ everything a busy inbox collects. PRIVACY FIRST FileButler requests access to your cloud storage because that access is what lets it rename and organize your files into folders. You can revoke access anytime from your cloud provider's settings. FileButler never stores the content of your files on its own servers โ documents are processed by AI just long enough to classify them, then sent straight to your cloud storage. No one at FileButler can view your file contents, and no files are stored anywhere other than your own cloud storage. Only file names and folder paths are retained โ never file content. The app is verified by all major cloud storage providers through the OAuth 2.0 authentication process. Your data is encrypted in transit, and the app is GDPR and CCPA compliant by design. Stop hunting through "Documents (3) final_v2.pdf." FileButler is the AI-powered file organizer, document scanner, and cloud storage assistant in one app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://filebutler.xyz/privacy/
