How this automation works

Save images of new Team Fortress 2 backpack items to Google Drive. When a new item appears in your TF2 backpack, this Applet downloads the item's icon and uploads it to the Drive folder you choose. This is ideal for TF2 players who want a visual archive for trading, inventory tracking, or sharing via Team Fortress 2 and Google Drive.
