Drive Explorer vs Mailmeteor

Drive Explorer lets you pick folders/files from your Google Drive™, Shared Drive, or the files shared with you to list in a Google Sheet™ or on the browser. Sheet columns contain metadata of the files like the file's name, containing folder, folder path on your Google drive™, direct download link, download links of files in PDF, CSV, ZIP, DOCX, XLSX formats, image URL if it's an image, etc. The whole list of fields it can pull is given below. Drive Explorer is fast 🚀. It can export up to 1000 files in approximately 16 seconds (Speed is influenced by the nested level of files). Drive Explorer brings your Google Drive™ to Google Sheets™. You can see all your files from different folders in a sheet tab instead of going back and forth on your Google Drive™. You can sort your files by size, name, created date, modified date, last viewed date in ascending or descending order. This makes searching for files easy and saves you a lot of time. You can generate download links for your files and easily share them with anyone for 1-click downloads. You can share files and get a share link or change the existing share settings directly from a Google Sheet™. You can rename, add/edit descriptions to multiple files/folders at a time directly from the sheet. You can add up to 3 different custom metadata to your files. Do you have any folder which has nested series of folders & files? Drive Explorer can also fetch files & folders in nested folders. Just pick the parent folder and tick a checkbox when exporting. You can automatically refresh (you have to enable this config) the sheet when you open it, meaning, your sheet will have details of the files you recently uploaded on Google Drive™. You can also set up a scheduled refresh which will trigger automatically in the background to refresh your file list. These two auto-refresh features help you use Google Drive™ as a data source for dynamic web applications. 🏆 Use cases: ----------------------------- If you use Google Drive™ a lot at work, Drive Explorer can save you a lot of time and increase your productivity. - Create direct download links of files in bulk. - Get image URLs of files to directly display them on the browser or host it on websites. - Know the size of the files and folders. - See the photos you have in your Drive as thumbnails in a Google Sheet™. - Run security audits. - Get download links of files in different formats like PDF, CSV, ZIP, etc., and much more.
