View Files by File Type in Google Drive

Clean Drive will scan your Google Drive account and display your files in categories. This makes it easy to view only the PDF files, doc files, XLS files, etc in your account. Initially your account will show the files in the following categories:

Documents (doc, docx, etc)
Photos & Images (jpg, png, gif, etc)
Audio (mp3, mpeg, ogg, mp4, wav, etc)
Video (mp4, flv, mpeg, quicktime, etc)
Archive (zip, tar, gzip, etc)

When you view your Google Drive files in these categories you can then drill down to specific files types such as:

PDF
HTML
Microsoft Word
XML
Javascript
Powerpoint
CSV
Markdown
JSON
Rich Text
Google Documents
Google Sheets
JPG, PNG, GIf, TIFF, Photoshop, bitmap images
MPEG-4 Video
QuickTime
Flash Video
MP3, WAV, MIDI Audio
ZIP Archive
Shortcuts & Symlinks
Adobe Illustrator

This is just the start. Clean Drive supports practically every file type that exists.

Browse by File Type
