drive.file scope only

Rename hundreds of Drive files at once, without handing over your whole Drive.

This is how to bulk rename files in Google Drive without installing anything or handing over broad access: every competitor in this space asks Google for permission to your entire Drive. This app only ever requests access to the exact files you select through the picker — it is technically incapable of seeing anything else.

How it works

Three steps, nothing hidden

1

Pick files from Drive

Google's own Picker opens — the same dialog Gmail and Docs use. Pick a whole folder and every file inside is included automatically, subfolders and all. Nothing outside your selection is ever touched.

2

Build a rename pattern

Turn on any combination of rules — find/replace, case, metadata, prefix/suffix, date, numbering.

3

Preview, then apply

See every before → after name before anything changes. Apply only once it looks right.

What it can do

Every rule, combined in one predictable pass

Turn on as many rules as you need — they run in a fixed order (find/replace → case → metadata → prefix/suffix → date → numbering), and file extensions are never touched.

text

Find & replace, or full regex

Literal text, or turn on regex with capture groups for pattern-based renaming.

format

Case transform

UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, Sentence case.

data

Rename photos & PDFs by metadata

Date created/modified, file size, or for photos, EXIF camera data and date taken.

text

Prefix / suffix

Plain text glued to the start or end of a name.

format

Sequential numbering

data

Full undo history

Last 20 batches kept, one click reverts everything.

Tested at scale

No file limit — tested against 1,008 real files in one sitting

Select whole folder, build a 3-rule pattern, preview, apply, undo — every file renamed exactly as previewed, and undo restored every single one, independently verified in Drive. There's no cap on batch size; 1,008 was simply the largest real test run so far, and it handled that smoothly.
