When we buy a new smartphone or a new SD card for that matter, we usually create folders to organize our files and organize data. But from what I’ve seen (and experienced), over time we tend to forget about these folders, thus creating a messy pile of files.
It’s also about files being automatically saved to different locations. For example, after receiving a file using bluetooth, Android will save it in the corresponding bluetooth folder. There are also Download folder where downloads from our mobile browser are stored.
Organizing all this manually on your phone is cumbersome. It is better to find a way to automate this task. So today we’re going to talk about an app that can automatically create redirect rules for those files and move them to dedicated folders on your Android phone or tablet. It’s called the Redirect File Organizer.
Let’s jump in.
Redirect File Organizer
Redirect File Organizer is a nifty app for Android that automatically organizes files on your Android’s SD card based on rules you create.
After you install and launch the app, you will see this screen.
The app offers five types of automatic redirects. Let’s take a look at each of them.
Simple redirects provide easy navigation for video, audio and document files. All you need to do is select the file type you want to redirect and the destination folder you want to transfer the file to and tap the icon Create simple redirects button.
The rule takes care of popular audio, video and document formats and scans your phone for these file types before automatically moving them to the folders you want to move them to. .
2. Custom redirects
Custom redirects provide a little more control over simple redirects. Users can select the specific file extension they want to move to the staging folder, and then create a rule. If you want to exclude certain folders, such as WhatsApp’s media folder, so that the app link is not compromised, you can specify the blacklist and whitelist folders.
3. Folder Redirection
This rule automatically moves the contents of one folder directly to another folder. For example, if you want to automatically move the contents of the bluetooth folder to the download folder, you can do this using this option.
4. Redirect name
In this mode you can redirect files and folders with specific names in your SD card. Here you can also select blacklist and whitelist folders and create rules.
5. Organizer
Currently, the only thing users can do using this option is delete all empty folders, and this option is only available in the pro version of the app from the Play Store.
Once you create these rules, you can either run them manually from time to time, or create a background service by setting an application that automatically runs at periodic intervals.
When the app is running any redirect, the progress will be shown in the notification drawer. If you want to undo any app action, it can be done using the option Undo previous redirects.
Conclusion
So that’s how you can automatically organize your Android. While you use the application, make sure that you use the folder blacklist or whitelist option to scan only specific folders. Running a redirect rule for the entire SD card may affect your game and other app data that uses images and music files to run.
