Organise Your Local File Directories With AI

n8n template #2334
If you have a shared or personal drive location with a high frequency of files created by humans, it can become difficult to organise. This may not matter... until you need to search for something! This n8n workflow works with the local filesystem to target the messy folder and categorise as well as organise its files into sub directories automatically. Disclaimer Unfortunately due to the intended use-case, this workflow will not work on n8n Cloud and a self-hosted version of n8n is required. How it works Uses the local file trigger to activate once a new file is introduced to the directory The new file's filename and filetype are analysed using AI to determine the best location to move this

How to set it up

  1. Open template #2334 on n8n.io and click Use for free, or copy the template JSON and paste it onto an empty canvas in n8n.
  2. Create a credential under Credentials → Add credential: Mistral Cloud Chat Model. Then open each of those nodes and pick the credential.
  3. Check the model in the Mistral Cloud Chat Model node. The template may point at a model your account can't use; swap it for one you have access to.
  4. Click Execute workflow and step through each node's output to confirm the data looks right.
  5. Toggle the workflow to Active so its trigger runs on its own.
