Take a photo and immediately upload to Google Drive

[Sean Mackesey]

I'd like to take a daily photo and have this automatically uploaded to a particular folder in Google Drive. I think I would be able to achieve this if I could just sync a particular Google Drive folder to my device, but Drive doesn't seem to allow maintaining a local copy of a whole folder.  Therefore I need to take a photo and upload to Drive. It would be nice if I could upload to a particular path, but I have a workaround (using Hazel on my OS X device, which can watch the main drive folder and automatically move files it detects).  So I need a Tasker profile that:

- takes a photo

- uploads the photo to Drive (at a particular path, if possible)

- deletes the photo

Is this possible?

I do this with FolderSync. It can upload files to a Google Drive folder and then delete the original from the device.

You can have FolderSync run on a schedule, or you can initiate a sync from Tasker using the FolderSync plugin.

It has worked well for me.

Awesome, FolderSync works seamlessly. Thanks for the recommendation.

This free app does the uploading thingy (does it instantly when new file occurs or is modified in a specified folder): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.drivesync&hl=en 

(I've implemented this with tasker and the Autosync Google Drive app (see above).
