Filently now supports any file type, gives you more control over filing instructions, and brings several quality-of-life improvements.
Filently now accepts any file type — not just PDFs and images. Files like ZIPs, audio, video, and other non-extractable formats are classified based on their filename, while documents like PDFs, Office files, and images continue to get full text extraction and AI classification. See Supported File Types and Limits for details.
You can now @-mention specific folders from your Google Drive in your custom filing instructions. This lets you explicitly reference where certain types of documents should go, giving you more precise control over how Filently organizes your files. Learn more in Custom Filing Instructions.
Filently can now create multi-level nested folders (e.g., "2026/March") when filing your documents — no need to pre-create folder hierarchies in Google Drive.
If a document fails processing, you can now manually retry it. Failed documents can also be manually filed to work around processing issues. See Common Issues and Solutions for more.
A new debug info dialog on each document card lets you inspect technical processing details, classification output, and folder suggestions — helpful for understanding how Filently made its filing decisions. See Common Issues and Solutions .
Rejected files (e.g., empty or oversized) now appear in the upload drawer with clear error reasons instead of disappearing toasts.
Original file dates are preserved — Google Drive now shows the file's original modification date, not the upload time.
Smarter custom filing instructions — instructions like "place invoices in year/month folders" are now correctly scoped and no longer applied to unrelated documents.
Improved folder matching — filing suggestions are now more reliable and less likely to be incorrectly discarded.
Documents without extracted text can now be reclassified.
Fixed an issue where the "Open folder" menu item was shown for documents without a folder.
Fixed folder sync issues that could cause folders to temporarily disappear or get out of sync.
Fixed a bug where Office documents uploaded with incorrect file types could fail processing.
