find duplicates

Options:

Folder ID – add the id of folder to search for duplicates

Find Duplicates  – click to find the duplicate files

Delete Marked Duplicates – click to delete the files that have the delete action in the F column

How to use

Step 1

Add the folder ID of the Google Drive folder you want to find duplicates in.

Step 2

Click Find Duplicates and wait for the process to finish, depending on the number of files in the folder it might take a few seconds. Sometimes this process might timeout due to the limitations of your type of Google account.

The sheet will be populated with the files that are duplicated. In the F column you will see the Action delete on the duplicate file(s) found. If you don’t want to delete certain files please remove the delete action for that file.

Step 3

Click Delete Marked Duplicates and confirm with yes. The deletion process will start and you will receive a confirmation message when the files are deleted.

If you have a folder with thousands of files and you are sure there are more duplicate files, start again with Step 2.
