Google Drive + YouTube

Update YouTube thumbnails when new files appear in your Google Drive folder

Refresh your YouTube channel for every new video you add to a specific Google Drive folder with this workflow. Ideal for consistent content creators, it helps you directly update visual content on YouTube as soon as you upload it to your Google Drive. This process allows you to focus more on content creation instead of manual channel updates.
