How do you manage Google Drive file cleanup, ownership, and access at scale?

As Workspace admins, we’ve all had those moments—offboarding employees, cleaning up messy shared folders, or dealing with overexposed files—and realized how tedious Google Drive management can get.

We ran into challenges like:

  • Files being shared externally for years without visibility

  • Hundreds of items owned by departing users

  • Teams renaming files manually one-by-one just to follow naming conventions

After repeating the same manual processes over and over, we built a tool to help ourselves—and eventually made it public for others in the same boat.

It’s called Soluvery, available on the Marketplace here:
🔗 https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/soluvery/1038143450653?flow_type=2

It helps admins:
Audit Drive files/folders—manually or on a schedule
Remove access in bulk for selected users
Rename files/folders at scale using rules
Transfer ownership in batches
Move content into shared drives in bulk

We’d genuinely love to hear how others are handling these problems today—scripts, third-party tools, internal processes? Any input or ideas welcome.

If you do end up trying Soluvery, feel free to share feedback or suggestions with us at 📩 <PII Removed by Staff> — we’re actively improving the tool based on real admin needs.
