The Challenge
Every growing team faces the same problem: files pile up faster than anyone can organize them. When documents land in the wrong folder—or worse, in the root of your Dropbox—finding what you need becomes a daily frustration.
- New files from multiple contributors accumulate without consistent naming
- Team members spend time searching for documents instead of doing real work
- Completed projects linger alongside active ones, creating clutter
- Ad-hoc folder structures make onboarding new team members difficult
- Manual archiving is always deprioritized until storage becomes a crisis
The Autohive Solution
Autohive agents connect directly to your Dropbox account and take over the organizational overhead entirely. By automating file sorting, renaming, and archiving, your workspace stays clean and predictable—every single day.
Automatic File Sorting
Agents detect newly uploaded files and immediately move them into the correct project or department folders based on rules you define. No more files living in limbo.
Convention-Based Renaming
Apply consistent naming patterns automatically. Whether your convention is date-prefixed, client-coded, or project-tagged, agents enforce it on every file without exception.
Project Archiving on Completion
When a project is marked complete in your workflow tool, agents automatically move all associated files to a designated archive folder in Dropbox—keeping your active workspace focused on what matters now.
