The Drive bridge

What you’ll have when you finishReports appear where you already live.

Step
Step three or four
What you need
GitHub plus Drive. Zapier for no-code, or rclone for the robust path.

This bench is accompaniment — membership, or the paid walk. The teaching above it stays open.

Steps

  1. No-code: a Zap or Make scenario copies new files in reports/ to a Drive folder.
  2. Robust: store rclone config as a repository secret; the workflow in the starter is the recipe from the teaching text.
  3. Known trap: a Google service account owns no storage. On a personal account, target a shared drive or overwrite a user-owned file.

How to know it worked

A report committed in Git is in Drive within a few minutes.

When it disappoints you

If you try to make Drive the system of record. Drive is a projection. The repository is the chart.

This assists your judgment. It does not replace licensed professional judgment. It is architecture, not a certification.
