I stopped using Google Drive folders entirely and switched to a much easier organization system (labels)
After years of messy folders in Drive, I found a better way to stay organized

Using a folder-based organization in Google Drive on your Android tablet or phone is the logical choice when you're accustomed to working on a Windows PC or Mac. The first thing I did when uploading files to Drive was to drag and drop them into a category folder, subfolder, or another location that made sense. However, that system started to break down. Files were difficult to find, folders piled up, and my filing system began to feel like digital clutter.
