Description from store
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.

- (2022-05-04) Maia: 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
- (2022-01-25) Glorianna Tillemann-Dick: THANK YOU! This did exactly what I needed it to (which was NOT a hole in one -- I spent a ton of time trying to figure it out on other programs to no avail). Really appreciate the different levels of renaming complexity and the ability to begin a numbered sequence from any number. Super helpful app!
- (2021-03-30) Redgum Cleaning: 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.
- (2021-03-15) Michael Lee: 1 time it actually showed all of the files in a given folder - 1 time thats it. every other time it always shows all folders to be empty of any files. nice job useless tool
- (2021-02-20) Sparr Risher: 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.
- (2020-12-31) PhonelyHands: 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?
- (2020-11-02) Samuel Chikowore: does what it does splendidly well
- (2020-07-31) Gioi Ban Khong: Worked flawlessly, I have 250+ files with the name "Copy Of " infront of them which i wished to replace, Simply installed the app, found the folder and replaced "Copy Of " with "" and it renamed it all.
- (2019-12-25) Larry FastCA: Did seem to work at first but then I found out how to use the Folder selector. Don't open the folder, select the folder in the list of folders. THEN hit SELECT. Then it opens a new dialog for selecting files. Simple regex worked fine.
- (2019-10-18) Stephen Pickering: After giving it access, every folder I click tells me "No items in this folder"
- (2019-08-21) Darin Walker: Doesn't work. Can't uninstall. Bad idea.
- (2019-06-10) Guillaume Simard: Didn't work. I get an error from Google when trying to authorize the app. Apparently the app has been disabled by Google.
- (2019-04-04) Thomaz Pougy: Sign in disable with google sign in. The message said its because the app was not verified.
- (2018-05-09) Michael Surcombe: Doesn't show any of my files, so can't use it
- (2018-05-08) Nico Arcenas: Asked for access to my Drive, then did nothing.
- (2018-02-08) A D: messed everything in my google drive when I tried to remove a suffix from files
- (2018-02-01) Michel Drescher: App not reviewed, doesn't authorise.
- (2017-06-09) Nebojsa Stojkovic: Renaming with RegEx option does not work
- (2017-05-09) RayShaunda “Liryk” Harris: Did exactly as described, needed to delete copy of from a set of documents I was using with a template.
- (2017-04-07) Edward Gilman: I can't even select a folder and get this silly App working.
- (2017-03-27) William Tellez: It used to work flawlessly but now my folders just do not appear
- (2017-03-07) John Stillwagen: Works but things like sorting by current filename are broken.
- (2017-02-03) Dan B: 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.
- (2017-01-03) Hack Man: I have thousands of files that have the wrong extension. This doesn't allow one to change the extension.
- (2016-12-20) Couldn't get it to work. Hung on checking permissions.
- (2016-11-27) Jack Tenbrunsel: Couldn't rename files from files shared withe me that I had full editing privileges.
- (2016-11-26) Troy Schmidt: Did what it advertised. Would only like to see ability to prepend with datestamp and timestamp not just timestamp.
- (2016-11-05) Gary Y: 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.
- (2016-11-04) Does exactly what it says and works great.
- (2016-10-25) John There: Useless, does not work at all
- (2016-07-30) Jason D: 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.
- (2016-05-08) Karl Steinmeyer: breaks after a month or so
- (2016-05-05) Didn't work, can't select a folder
- (2016-03-06) Dan Cross: 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.
- (2016-03-04) Typhoon Fire: I like the idea very much ! But, first, I doesn't work for editing-allowed but not owned files. Secondly, I have a suggestion : could you present the files like in a spreadsheet, to rename them manually ? Or at least the possibilty to write the prefix we want to
- (2016-02-09) Nicolescu Ion Tismăneanu: Nice. It would be great if it could rename extensions also.
- (2016-02-09) SoUL Media: Great application its really helpful
- (2016-01-25) Brady Johnson: no custom naming options...
- (2016-01-22) UPmemes Del: doesn't work for me, setup the change parameters but the 'next' button does nothing, just sits doing nothing.
- (2016-01-11) Anders J.: it works :)
- (2016-01-05) joseph dunn: DOES WHAT IT SAYS. NOT DIFFICULT ONCE YOU GET THE HANG OF IT. I JUST DEDUCTED 1 STAR CAUSE THIS DOES NOT RENAME STUFF IN SUB FOLDERS. BOO HISS!
- (2015-12-14) Adih Respati: Some folders do not show up. Curious.
- (2015-11-08) Brian Plaster: Love this app! After experimenting with Google Drive's search functions, I belatedly realized that my naming convention, in which I left spaces around hyphens, was being interpreted as a minus in auto/quick searches. I had considered removing all of the spaces manually until the miracle of this app let me rename thousands of files in minutes.
- (2015-09-23) D K: Worked flawlessly, I have 250+ files with the name "Copy Of " infront of them which i wished to replace, Simply installed the app, found the folder and replaced "Copy Of " with "" and it removed it all. A+
- (2015-09-21) Jesse Hollington: Works pretty much as advertised for basic renaming tasks - simple text replacement or prepending/appending to file names. Would be a nice bonus if it could also handle basic regular expression renames as well as changing case (e.g. upper, lower, title case).
- (2015-09-09) Steve Tomchuk: 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?
- (2015-08-26) NGO Taxi Admin: 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..
- (2015-07-30) Michael W (Michaelw714): Worked as advertised. Saved me time. I will use this again. Thanks!
- (2015-07-16) Lord Vader: Does not work
- (2015-07-07) Yannick Tholomier: Search not discovering file names that are spaced with underscores... what a shame! But, thanks to Bulk Renamer! All underscores have been replaced with space successfully! Cheers!
