Description

Bulk Renamer for Google Drive™ renames all files in selected Drive folder according to chosen settings. No more need to sync files to your desktop, rename them using OS-specific tools and sync them back to Drive. Just select a folder, choose rename options (see details below) and sit back and watch your files being renamed! 3 easy steps: 1) Select a Folder Use Drive Picker to select a folder to rename files in. Note: Only folders you are the owner of can be selected. Sub-folders are not processed. Only files you have owner or editor permissions for can be renamed. 2) Choose Rename Options Choose between Simple Replace and Advanced Rename, with available options as follows: Simple Replace: - Find text (string to look for in file names) - Replace with string (text to replace search string with; leave blank to remove search string from file names) - Match case (whether to perform case-sensitive search or nor) - Replace all instances (whether to replace all occurrences of search string in file names or only the first one) - Keep original Last Modified date (whether to preserve file modification date or update it with current date) Advanced Rename: - Base name (base filename part to give all files; leave blank to use original file names) - Prepend base name with (prefix to add to all filenames; select between none, numeric iterator or timestamp) - Prefix separator (select character to separate prefix and base name with) - Start numbering from (for Numeric iterator prefix type, the number to start iterating from) - Append base name with (suffix to add to all filenames; select between none, numeric iterator or timestamp) - Suffix separator (select character to separate base name and suffix with) - Start numbering from (for Numeric iterator suffix type, the number to start iterating from) 3) Confirm Settings and Rename Files Confirm selected rename options and preview list of files with new filenames. Watch your files being renamed in real-time. Results page will show any errors encountered during rename (e.g. files with no matching string in filename, or files with insufficient access permissions) Note: It can take your Google Drive™ user interface a few seconds to update with new file names after a bulk rename.

After giving it access, every folder I click tells me "No items in this folder"

Doesn't work. Can't uninstall. Bad idea.

Didn't work. I get an error from Google when trying to authorize the app. Apparently the app has been disabled by Google.

I can't even select a folder and get this silly App working.

Did not "see" my files in a folder. I had to double check and the files were there. After some restarts and refreshes the app did not locate them at all.

Couldn't get it to work. Hung on checking permissions.

Useless, does not work at all

The app doesn't allow you to select multiple files and place them in a specific order and apply a numbering system. No regex system is available for renaming complex folders. For example, imagine you have a directory with files like this: Chapter 1 Chapter 10 Chapter 2 Chapter 20 I see no way to replace 1 with 01 and 2 with 02 etc. I also see no way to select these, drag them around and have the app strip the numbers and apply new ones. Thanks anyhow.

Didn't work, can't select a folder

Doesn't seem to work as described. Apparently, you can only alter "file you have owner or editor permissions for," and yet, shared folders/files I can edit manually are not available when searching.

doesn't work for me, setup the change parameters but the 'next' button does nothing, just sits doing nothing.

Doesn't work. At least it isn't at all intuitive. Can't select individual files to rename. Stuck at selecting folder to rename? WTF?

Wont allow adding a prefix or suffix to the original file name... Not much use to me!

★☆☆☆☆2015-04-21

Doesn't work. I installed it, gave it permissions, opened it, clicked "Select folder", then it just gives me the error: "The API developer key is invalid." I am unable to click anything or exit without closing the whole page. Uninstalled.

Cant rename images in numerical order. I downloaded this hoping it would help to rename images in numeric order on my Chrome OS but doesn't seem to have this function to my disappointment. If there is a suggestion or solution to this please let me know and i shall update my review. Thank you b

Very limited. Couldn't simply add a phrase before or after the existing names of a few files, a basic function of a batch file renamer imo.

Sign in disable with google sign in. The message said its because the app was not verified.

I have thousands of files that have the wrong extension. This doesn't allow one to change the extension.

can select a drive folder but not the files in it. select button is always greyed out. shame. would be such a handy app I would even be willing to pay for..

App is reasonably featureful. Has problems with large folders, often includes files not selected by the user, seems to cap selections at 200 400 600 or some other multiple of 200 files. Preview of rename occasionally shows wrong details about impending rename. But in the end, it does eventually do what it says, to at least some of the selected files.

Am I missing something, or can you not prepend or append custom text to a file? Like if i wanted to add the word "monkey" before each file name, that can't be done?

It used to work flawlessly but now my folders just do not appear

Works but things like sorting by current filename are broken.

How do I remove this? Works okay but conflicting with another extension I deeply need. All i see is "Visit Website" but no instructions to remove.
