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.

Warp links Android and Mac for cross-platform file sharing via the cloud

Warp is a beta cross‑platform file-sharing setup that pairs an Android app with a Chrome extension to transfer images, videos, documents, or text from Android to a Mac, Windows, or Linux PC. It uploads content to Google Drive and keeps only the latest 10 files, requiring Google account linking. While convenient for quick transfers and multi‑device use, large transfers (like a 2 GB video) can be slow compared with direct device‑to‑device transfers.
