Google Drive's AI cleanup promises order, but clutter persists

ZDNET tester assesses Google's Organize My Files, powered by Gemini AI, which suggests moves and new folders to tidy Drive. It can surface useful reorganizations (like resumes and a new Family/Real Estate folder), but the tool feels unfinished: suggestions can repeat, it misses deeper cleanup, and it requires Google Workspace and AI access. As a result, the reviewer still faces a messy Drive and ongoing subscription costs, though the feature shows potential for future improvements.
