Automatically back up each new photo you take with the Camera widget to Google Drive and Notion. This runs every time you capture a new photo, uploading the image to a Drive folder and creating a detailed Notion page with photo information. Perfect for organizing and archiving your photos with easy access through Google Drive and Notion. Note: Install the IFTTT app and add the Camera widget to your home screen.
