Collapsible Sidebar & Active Document Tracking
A dedicated visual hierarchy that docks cleanly beside your editor without covering your work. With active document tracking, Folder Manager highlights the currently open file with a green status indicator and auto-expands parent folders so you never lose context.
- Live Active Document Badging: Highlights the currently active tab with a glowing green indicator and 'Open' badge in the tree.
- Nested Subfolders & Hierarchy: Build unlimited subfolder trees with clear folder document count badges.
- Drag-to-Resize Sidebar (200px - 800px): Smoothly adjust the sidebar width; Google Docs and Sheets automatically shift layout margin.
- Root Folder Pinning: Pin priority folders to the top of your workspace for instant one-click reach.
Instant Fuzzy Search & Multi-App Filtering
Searching through hundreds of nested documents is instantaneous. Type any keyword to filter through folder names, subfolders, and document titles in real time, with auto-expanded branch highlighting.
- Instant Sub-millisecond Filtering: Real-time search matches documents and parent folders simultaneously.
- App-Specific Visual Accents: Color-coded badges and icons distinguish Docs (Blue), Sheets (Green), and Slides (Amber) at a glance.
- Auto-Expanding Search Branches: Matching folders unfold automatically so you can immediately see the complete file context.
- Multi-Account Separation: Automatically isolates folders across multiple logged-in Google accounts so work and personal documents stay separate.
Native Menubar & In-Editor "Add to Folder"
Organize documents where you already work. Folder Manager integrates an "Add to folder" action right into Google's native menubar, in-editor toolbar, and homescreen document cards.
- In-Editor Toolbar Button: File the active document into any folder or subfolder with one click without leaving your typing flow.
- Homescreen 3-Dot Overflow Menu: Right-click or use Google's 3-dot menu to organize files directly from the Google Docs/Sheets dashboard.
- Clean Document Title Extraction: Automatically parses titles, tabs, and multi-tab documents cleanly without awkward UI chips.
- Fluid Drag-and-Drop: Drag documents directly between folders to reorganize your entire project tree in seconds.
