Save new Android photos to Google Drive
How this automation works
Track your progress automatically by adding a datapoint to your Beeminder goal each time you add a new file to your Google Drive folder. This Applet runs whenever a non‑Google Workspace file is added to your selected folder, logging it into Beeminder. Perfect for keeping tabs on your uploads or monitoring productivity through your drive activity.
