# Create alphabetised folders in Google Drive

![Create alphabetised folders in Google Drive](https://pulse.appsscript.info/files/2019/11/Alpha-2.png)

> The script is designed to bulk create folders from a Google Sheet and to arrange them into alphabetised folders within Google Drive, by extracting the first letter of a user’s surname.

If a suitable alphabetised folder does not exist in Google Drive, then one is created. The script also adds the created folder to an ‘Everybody’ folder so that there is a single area with all the folders listed in.
