Google Drive Duplicate File Manager

# Google Drive Duplicate File Manager **Purpose:** Automate the process of finding and managing duplicate files in your Google Drive. **Who's it for?** - Individuals and teams aiming to streamline their Google Drive. - Anyone tired of manual duplicate file cleanup. **What it Solves:** - Saves storage space. - Reduces file confusion. - Automates tedious cleanup tasks. **How it works:** 1. **Trigger:** Monitors a Google Drive folder for new files. 2. **Configuration:** Sets rules for keeping and handling duplicates. 3. **Find Duplicates:** Identifies duplicate files based on their content (MD5 Checksum). 4. **Action:** Either moves duplicates to trash or renames them. **Setup Guide:** 1. **Google Drive Trigger:** - Set up the trigger to watch a specific folder or your entire drive (use caution with the root folder!). - Configure the polling interval (default: every 15 minutes). 2. **Config Node:** - **keep:** Choose whether to keep the first or last uploaded file (default: last). - **action:** Select trash to delete duplicates or flag to rename them with DUPLICATE- (default: flag). - **owner & folder:** Taken from the trigger. Only change if needed. **Key Considerations:** - **Google Drive API limits:** Be mindful of API usage. - **Folder Scope:** The workflow handles one folder depth by default. (WARNING: If configured to work with the Root folder / all files in all sub-directories are processed so **USE THIS OPTION WITH CAUTION** since the workflow might trash/rename important files) - **Google Apps:** Google docs are ignored since they are not actual binary files and their content can't be compared. **Enjoy your clean Google Drive!**
