Most people have no idea what's eating their Google Drive storage. DriveNest scans, analyzes, and helps you act — so your Drive is fully understood.
DriveNest is a cloud storage analyzer for Android. Its current version works with Google Drive, turning a flat list of files into a clear, interactive picture of your storage. Instead of a single “you’ve used 47 GB” number, it shows you which folders eat your quota, which duplicates waste space, which files you’ve shared and forgotten, and how your storage has grown over time — then helps you safely reclaim the wasted space.
It connects with read-only access to your storage metadata — names, sizes, folders, and sharing info, never the contents of your files — and runs all of its analysis on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, there are no ads, and nothing tracks you.
Under the hood, DriveNest was designed as a provider-agnostic cloud storage framework — Google Drive is simply the first provider it speaks to. OneDrive is the second — now live in open testing as part of DriveNest v2 — and Dropbox is coming next, bringing the same analysis, security audit, and safe cleanup tools to every cloud you use, from one app.
Version 2 brings OneDrive to DriveNest — the same analysis, security audit, and safe cleanup, now on a second cloud. It’s publicly available as an open test while we finish polishing.
What open testing means for you. Anyone can join straight from Google Play — no invite needed. You get early access to OneDrive support and everything new in v2, in exchange for living a little closer to the edge: features are still settling and you may meet the occasional rough spot. Your feedback during this phase directly shapes what ships in the stable release.
A new way to act on your files. v2 introduces in-app execution of cleanup, unshare, and revision scripts — a capability our users asked for repeatedly through feature requests. Where DriveNest used to only hand you a script to run elsewhere, it can now carry the action through for you, end to end.
Provider-specific by design. In-app execution is available for OneDrive only. Google Drive continues to use the established Google Apps Script model — DriveNest deploys the script to your own account and you run it yourself, exactly as before. Either way you review every action first, and nothing ever runs silently.
Google Drive tells you one number. DriveNest gives you visibility, reclaim, protection, and tracking.
I had no idea 40% of my storage was in one folder
Google Drive shows a flat file list. DriveNest shows you the full picture — instantly.
Visibility
An interactive sunburst chart maps your entire folder hierarchy into a visual you can tap and explore. File type distribution across 11 categories reveals surprises ("8 GB of audio files?"). The smart dashboard surfaces anomalies automatically — no manual digging required.
Hidden cruft I never knew existed
Empty folders, zero-size files, orphaned items, temporary files — invisible clutter that adds up.
Ghost file detection
DriveNest scans for files and folders that Google Drive's UI hides: empty folders, zero-byte files, hidden items, and orphaned files whose parent was deleted. These don't show up in normal browsing but clutter your hierarchy and waste your time.
Same file, 6 copies, 3 GB wasted
MD5 checksums find the copies. Smart heuristics tell you which ones are safe to remove.
Reclaim wasted space
MD5 detection is just the start — any tool can match checksums. DriveNest goes further with heuristic scoring that analyzes path depth, folder structure, and access patterns to classify each duplicate as waste or structural (templates, shared scaffolding). You only clean what's actually safe. Users typically reclaim 20–40% of storage.
One-click cleanup, not manual deletion
Every target gets a risk score. Generate a script, review it, run it yourself. 30-day undo.
Safe cleanup with full control
A bubble chart ranks targets by size, staleness, and duplicate burden. Generate Apps Script, Bash, or PowerShell — deploy to your Google account with one tap. Files go to trash, never permanently deleted. DriveNest never touches your files directly.
My Drive security score was 43/100
An automated audit scores your sharing exposure. Public files, oversharing, forgotten access — all flagged.
Know who has access
A 0–100 security score based on real sharing data. Detects publicly accessible files, folders shared with 20+ people, and documents your ex-colleague can still open. Separates direct shares from inherited folder sharing so you fix the root cause, not symptoms.
Former colleague still has access
Files shared years ago are still accessible. DriveNest finds them and generates unshare scripts.
Revoke forgotten sharing in bulk
Forgotten shared files are a silent risk. DriveNest surfaces stale shares (6+ months), files you own but never unshared, and "anyone with the link" documents. Generate an unshare script to remove all non-owner permissions across hundreds of files at once.
Storage grew 4 GB in 3 months — where?
Compare scans over time. Spot spikes. Set budgets. Get alerted before you run out.
Your Drive health over time
Saved scan snapshots let you compare storage, file counts, and duplicate growth month over month. Activity trends show when files were created and modified. Set a storage budget and get warned before Google charges you for the next tier.
Automatic monitoring, not manual check-ups
Scheduled scans keep your data fresh. Auto-cleanup deploys scripts for confirmed safe duplicates.
Set it and forget it
Background scans run on your schedule (4 hours to weekly). Incremental rescans complete in seconds. Ultimate subscribers get auto-deployed cleanup scripts. You still approve every action — automation prepares, you decide.
Google Drive gives you a storage bar. Here's what DriveNest reveals behind it.
Visibility
Reclaim
Protect
Track
Google One tells you how much space is used. DriveNest tells you why — and gives you the tools to fix it.
Each screen tackles a different aspect of your Drive. Together, they give you full visibility.
Dashboard
Storage overview, quota breakdown, largest folders and files, stale file detection, ghost files, smart insights, revision history overhead, and storage budget — all in one scrollable view.
Explore →Sunburst Chart
Interactive radial visualization of your entire folder hierarchy. Tap any segment to zoom in. Instantly spot which folders consume the most space.
See how →Duplicates
MD5 checksums find identical files. Heuristic scoring classifies each as waste or structural — so you clean what matters, not what breaks things.
Learn more →Folder Tree
Expandable folder hierarchy with sizes, percentage bars, and direct Google Drive links. Navigate deep structures with search and jump-to-node.
Details →Cleanup
Bubble chart ranks files by size, staleness, and duplicate risk. Two modes: stale content and reclaim storage. Generate cleanup scripts for safe action.
How it works →Trends
Track storage growth over time with filterable bar charts. Compare scan snapshots to spot spikes in file count, storage, and duplicate accumulation.
View trends →Security Audit
Automated 0–100 security score. Detects shared folders, publicly accessible files, oversharing, stale shares, and generates unshare scripts.
How it scores →Cleanup & Unshare Scripts
Generate Google Apps Script, Bash, or PowerShell scripts to clean up files or revoke sharing. Deploy directly to your Google account with one tap.
