Show HN: I built a web app to rename files in bulk (syncwithtech.com)

Hey HN,

I built Smart Bulk Renamer to bulk rename files on Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or even local files directly from your browser. The idea came after I noticed many users on Dropbox forums were searching for a tool to automate file renaming. I expanded it to include Google Drive, OneDrive, and local files for broader utility.

The tool leverages the non-standard FileSystemHandle.move API [1] to rename local files, so the local file renaming currently only works on Chromium-based browsers.

Smart Bulk Renamer is heavily inspired by the Mac app "Name Mangler" [2].

You can try it without creating an account, and I’d love to hear your feedback!
