On submission of an upload form, copy the media library items to "Historical Material Repository" in Google Drive

[mrengy]

Put the copies in the root of "Historical Material Repository" - ideally without involving Zip files or folders.

On the main scvanguard.org upload form that we are phasing out, I set this up to use Zip files for multi-item uploads via Zapier. Doing it with Zapier and not involving Zip files requires a paid Zapier account.

Short term

could set up this Zapier integration on history.scvanguard.org to put uploaded files in the root of the Historical Material Repository folder. Will involve some manual unzipping and creating shortcuts to Decades Project > Deliverables 1: Working Material subfolders for the appropriate year / corps.

Long term

1. Perhaps there's another way with a combination of a WordPress action / GravityForms API and the Google Drive API to put uploaded files in the root of the Historical Material Repository folder without zipping them.
2. Bonus: Also create "shortcuts" that live in the appropriate year / ensemble under Decades Project > Deliverables 1: Working Material.

look into app authentication and service account.

Completed short term solution with Zapier. Long term solution would avoid having to unzip files from batches and potentially also create aliases in year folders
