The problem it solves

You get sent video files as download links from clients, contractors, or online tools, and manually downloading and re-uploading them to Drive eats up time, especially for large files.

Who it fits

Teams handling video, media, or other large files that need to be archived in Google Drive.

How it works

  1. You send in the URL of a video file
  2. The system downloads the file
  3. It's uploaded to your specified Google Drive folder
  4. The file is renamed and its Drive link is returned to you
What you get

Files that land in Drive already organized

Send in a video link and the file downloads, gets renamed, and lands in your Google Drive folder ready to find.

What you get

A properly named video file saved in your Google Drive with a shareable link.

What you need

A Google Workspace account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
