Automatically back up your new iOS photos to Google Drive
How this automation works
Save extracted text from starred PDFs to Google Drive. This Applet runs when you star a non-Google Workspace file in a Drive folder, asks PDF.co to extract the file's text from its public URL, then uploads the extracted text as a .txt file back to Google Drive. Use PDF.co and Google Drive to archive, search, or convert important PDFs into plain text for automation, note-taking, or backup.
