Document Retention Policy Agent

Replaces a $45k Records Manager by auto-purging and archiving files across Drive and Dropbox by retention rules.

The Problem

Small businesses accumulate thousands of files in cloud storage with no systematic purge policy, wasting storage costs and creating compliance risk. A records manager manually reviews and deletes old files monthly, costing $45k/year in salary plus storage overage fees. Without automation, SMBs either pay for bloated storage or risk losing important documents.

The Outcome

The agent scans your Google Drive and Dropbox folders on a schedule, applies your retention policy rules (by file type, age, folder, or custom tags), and automatically archives old files to cold storage or purges them. It logs every action for audit trails and sends weekly reports showing what was retained, archived, and deleted.

Day in the Life
1.
Mon 6am: Agent scans Drive and Dropbox, identifies files older than 7 years → compares against retention policy rules → archives PDFs to cold storage, deletes temp files.
2.
Wed 2pm: Finance team uploads Q1 receipts tagged 'tax-2024' → agent auto-sorts into Dropbox tax folder with 7-year retention flag.
3.
Fri 4pm: Agent sends retention report to compliance officer: 342 files archived, 89 deleted, 0 errors → owner reviews and approves.
