Zero Install · Zero Modifications · Zero Retention

Document Intelligence Without Viewing File Contents

DocShot uses lightweight non-intrusive document signals (signal fingerprints, checksums, modified timestamps) to surface duplicates and stale files — without ever viewing, reading, or retaining document contents.

Free Tier Workflow

Easy-Step Single Folder Scan Process

Audit specific project, department, or archive folders risk-free.

Step 1: Pick Target Folder

Select Any Google Drive Folder

Target a single folder (e.g. Policies, Proposals, Finance, or Legal) for an instant hygiene check.

Step 2: Signal Analysis

Lightweight Signal Processing

Signal fingerprints & checksums evaluate duplicates transiently in memory with zero data retention.

Step 3: Get Audit Report

Decision-Ready Keep Advice

Receive clear exact & near-duplicate clusters with explicit canonical keep recommendations.

* Single-folder scanning is 100% free with zero data retention. Full Drive / domain-wide scanning requires Pro Plan — contact us.*

Zero Retention & Non-Intrusive Signals

  • Operates strictly via metadata & signal fingerprints — zero viewing, reading, or retention of full document contents
  • Evaluates edited vs. read activity disconnects to highlight stale docs still actively viewed by peers
  • Compares modifiedTime, createdTime, and user activity timestamps across document clusters

100% Read-only security guarantee

  • Uses drive.metadata.readonly and drive.readonly OAuth permissions — zero write access requested
  • Guarantees zero file modifications, renaming, or accidental deletions
  • Revoke access at any time directly through Google Account permissions

Exact & near-duplicate clustering

  • Group identical binary files via content checksums
  • Cluster near-identical text documents (policies, proposals, handbooks, spreadsheets)
  • Recommend a canonical version with an explainable, transparent ranking score

Actionable free audit report

  • Clear duplicate groups with keep / review recommendations
  • List of high-risk zombie files still receiving views
  • Shareable report format for managers, ops leads, and team cleanups

Temporal & activity scoring

Detects the disconnect between edited/updated files and actively viewed/read files to pinpoint zombie documents.

Non-intrusive document signals

Evaluates metadata, modified timestamps, and signal fingerprints without viewing or reading full document body contents.

Exact & near-duplicate clustering

Group identical binary files and near-identical policy/proposal drafts with ranked keep recommendations.

Metadata enrichment

Clean titles, document types, owners, and dates — building a reliable structure for your team and future AI tools.

Explainable keep scores

Every recommendation includes a clear breakdown of why one document is preferred over another.

Free single-folder audit

The non-intrusive pipeline

Designed as a non-intrusive sequence using lightweight metadata signals — never inspecting or retaining full document body contents.
