Bulk Folder Creation on Dropbox and Google Drive

Question

Hello!

I’m currently trying to improve how I handle client onboarding, specifically, the folder structures we set up in Dropbox and Google Drive. Right now, I’ve been creating folders manually for each new client, with subfolders for contracts, reports, communications, etc. But as the volume increases, it’s becoming really time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies.

I’m wondering if anyone has a system, tool, or tip for bulk-creating structured folders efficiently? Ideally something that works with Dropbox and Google Drive.

I recently came across a tool called EZFolders that lets you generate folder structures using AI, either by typing a command or uploading a CSV. It also has an AI assistant that helps guide you if you’re not sure how to format things.

Seems like it could help, but I’m curious if anyone here has used it or knows more about it before I dive in. Would love to hear what others are doing to save time with this kind of task!

Hey Carolina!

great that you’re thinking about scaling this — manual folder creation gets overwhelming fast. EZFolders is actually one of the better options out there for this use case, especially if you want consistent naming and structure across both Dropbox and Google Drive. The CSV method is super useful if you already manage client data in spreadsheets, and the AI-guided setup helps avoid formatting issues.

If you're not ready to try a third-party tool, using Google Apps Script or Zapier can also automate folder creation from a template, especially on Google Drive. But EZFolders might save you more time out of the box, especially across platforms.

Let me know if you want help setting it up or testing a structure!

best, Alessa :)
