Can Google Docs filter docs shared with me into folders?

Question

So I'm a teacher and I want documents that students share with me (that will always include something like "Block 1--M. Smith--Research Paper") to be filtered into a Block 1 folder.

Anyone knows if this is possible?

Answer 1

Short answer

Google documents doesn't include a feature like Gmail filters that automatically process incoming messages, but it could be extended through add-ons and Google Apps Script.

Alternatives

Google Apps for Education includes Google Classroom which help teachers to manage assignments and include features to help teachers to manage files submitted by students.
