The Steward

Google Drive backups, usage visibility, and automated help keeping a drive organized.

The Steward keeps reliable, independent backups of your Google Drive — with optional visibility and organization insights to help you understand and improve how your files are stored.

What this is

Backups. Accidental deletions, ransomware, and permission mistakes can cause permanent data loss. Frequent backups reduce that risk.
Usage metrics. Data gathered at backup time about which files are new, moved, or deleted gives you visibility into how your organization actually uses its Drive.
Organization insights. AI-assisted analysis that surfaces files in the wrong place, improper sharing, and duplication.

Data loss isn't only caused by mistakes on your end — sometimes the provider itself is the risk. In 2026, roughly 171,000 small nonprofits lost their OneDrive data permanently when Microsoft retired a licensing program with little effective warning. An independent backup, held outside your cloud provider, is the protection that survives that kind of event.

Who this is for

Organizations that rely on Google Drive for daily operations.

Individuals with large Drives that have become too disorganized.

Anyone who wants help managing their Google Drive.
