For teams living in Google Drive
The same file shouldn't show up ten times in your feed.
FolderFeed collapses Drive's noisy Activity tab into one line per file, shows only what's changed since your last visit, and surfaces the comments that actually need you.

Google Drive's Activity tab vs. FolderFeed
What the feed actually shows you
Time-boxed sync
Each folder tracks a [from, to] window. You decide when to sync — nothing updates behind your back.
People, ranked by activity
A ring of arcs around each avatar shows how many files that person touched — colored arcs mean comments meant for you.
Whole folder trees, one feed
Monitor a top-level folder and every subfolder rolls into the same feed — no need to watch each one separately.
A timeline per file
Open any file to see its edits and comments laid out chronologically — including which comments are new.
From sign-in to caught up, in four steps
Step 1
Sign in with Google
A short-lived access pass only, never a standing credential.
Step 2
Pick a folder to watch
Subfolders come along automatically.
Step 3
Sync on your terms
Click sync whenever you want the feed refreshed.
Step 4
Mark as read
Clear the folder and start the next window with a blank slate.
No standing access to your Drive
Signing in only ever grants FolderFeed a short-lived pass — never the long-term refresh credential apps typically use to reach your account in the background.
Review app permissions on Google →-
Expires in about an hour. Every session's access pass is temporary.

Nothing runs in the background. Access ends the moment you close the app.

You're always in control. Revoke access anytime from your Google account — though there's nothing standing to revoke on our end.
Questions people ask
- Can I use FolderFeed on several devices?
- Yes — but feed data lives on your device, so a second device won't be in sync with your first.
- How do I remove access to my Google Drive?
- We never hold long-term access, so there's nothing to revoke on our side. You can still check connected apps on your Google Account permissions page.
- Does FolderFeed sync automatically?
- No — sync only happens when you click the button, so you always control when new activity comes in.
