In plain words

Sortbox is a tool that automatically organizes files in Dropbox and Box using sorting rules similar to email filters. Users save files to a designated folder, and the service moves them to specified destinations based on custom rules that are applied every 15 minutes. It offers three types of rules and uses a file explorer interface for setting up organization workflows within cloud storage.

    Hey HN, This is my first ever launch! I built a productivity tool that helps you organize your files in bulk, quickly and easily. Instead of manually organizing files, which can be tedious and time-consuming, you can now ask an AI agent to do it for you. Right now, Dynbox integrates with Google Drive, and I’m rapidly working on support for local file systems as well. I’d love to get your feedback!
