My Google Drive had gotten messy — duplicate folders, random uploads, files mislabeled, and years’ worth of assets scattered everywhere. And with limited local storage and very specific permission needs, the usual “Sync & Mirror” option didn’t work for me.So I created my own one-off cleanup method, and after hours of experimenting, it finally worked.In this episode, I break down exactly what I did:✔️ Downloaded everything using the Google Drive desktop app✔️ Copied the full Drive to an external hard drive as a safety net✔️ Used two Finder windows to reorganize folders manually✔️ Added missing files from my local drive that never made it to GDrive✔️ Created clean new folders and moved everything into the correct structure✔️ Archived the original Google Drive folders so nothing was lost✔️ Uploaded the clean, organized version back to GDrive✔️ Kept archive copies on the external drive “just in case”This was a one-time reset designed for people who:don’t have enough hard drive space for a full mirrorneed complicated folder permissionshave years of clutterwant to rebuild their GDrive structure from scratch without losing filesneed a safe and reversible solutionIf your Google Drive feels like a digital junk drawer, this method might save you hours — and your sanity.
