See who can open your Google Drive™ files

NeatDrive doesn't delete anything immediately. A scan identifies issues — duplicates, over-shared files, stale content, and oversized storage hogs — and groups them into a cleanup plan for you to review. NeatDrive is read-only by default, every change is previewed before it happens, nothing changes unless you approve it, and every action is written to a full activity log you can export. What you can undo depends on the action. On paid plans, a revoked share can be undone for 30 days, archived files can be restored from Recent Changes for 30 days, and they stay in the NeatDrive Archive folder so you can move them back yourself at any time, and deleted files go to your Google Drive Trash, where NeatDrive can restore them for 30 days. Some actions NeatDrive can't undo at all: removing your own access to someone else's file, transferring ownership once Google has reassigned it, emptying Trash from the Declutter page, and deleting your NeatDrive Archive folder.

Not by default. NeatDrive only accesses file metadata — names, sizes, creation dates, modification dates, and sharing permissions. We never open, read, index, or store the actual content of your files for standard audits. File contents are only accessed for two opt-in features, content-aware naming and a content-based duplicate check, and only on files you specifically select. NeatDrive has completed an independent Cloud Application Security Assessment (CASA) under Google's framework, which Google requires of every application requesting restricted Google Drive™ scopes. Your files stay in your Drive.

No. NeatDrive is built preview-first: you see every proposed change before it happens. Our cleanup actions are designed to preserve file associations and shared links. Files are moved to a NeatDrive Archive folder in your own Drive rather than deleted outright, and we maintain a complete audit trail at every step. What you can undo depends on the action. On paid plans, a revoked share can be undone for 30 days, archived files can be restored from Recent Changes for 30 days, and they stay in the NeatDrive Archive folder so you can move them back yourself at any time, and deleted files go to your Google Drive Trash, where NeatDrive can restore them for 30 days. Some actions NeatDrive can't undo at all: removing your own access to someone else's file, transferring ownership once Google has reassigned it, emptying Trash from the Declutter page, and deleting your NeatDrive Archive folder. Transferring ownership can't be reversed — Google requires the new owner to give it back.

NeatDrive is built for Google Workspace users who manage shared file environments — operations teams, IT admins, agencies and startups. If your shared drives have grown messy over time, you're finding duplicate files slow things down, you're concerned about files shared with the wrong people, or you need to control storage costs, NeatDrive is designed for you. It works for both individual My Drive users and teams working out of Shared Drives.

You choose the scope — My Drive, shared drives, or all drives. Google only lists shared drives to apps that can read or change them, so shared-drive scanning needs the write grant. A scan covers one connected account: NeatDrive doesn't scan other people's Drives, and it isn't a domain-wide Workspace audit.

NeatDrive's first job is exposure: public links, files shared outside your organization, and shared folders whose access every file inside inherits. It also finds clutter (duplicate files, stale content and oversized files) you can review and clean up.

Yes. The audit runs on a read-only metadata model — names, sizes, dates, owners and sharing permissions. File contents are read only for the optional content-aware naming and content-based duplicate check, and only on the specific files you select. Content is never stored. NeatDrive has completed a Cloud Application Security Assessment (CASA) — an independent third-party audit administered by the App Defense Alliance and built on the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard. Google requires it of any application requesting restricted Google Drive™ scopes, and it is renewed annually. We take trust seriously, especially for teams managing sensitive organizational data.
