Combining file backup ("boring") with analyzing images using AI/ML ("exciting") probably isn't a workflow you think about often. However, by combining them together, you can build a useful enterprise solution (or be inspired as to what else is possible). Google provides a diverse array of developer tools you can use to realize this ambition, in this case, a set of APIs from two diverse product groups: Google Workspace (formerly G Suite and Google Apps) and Google Cloud (GCP). More compellingly, the basic principle of mixing-and-matching Google technologies as the "right tool for the job" can be applied to many other challenges faced by your organization or your customers.

Industries like manufacturing, architecture, media, and advertising are four industries generating an enormous number of images per project. Over time, this can clutter up anyone's corporate Google Drive. After the conclusion of a project or campaign, it's much less likely a user will be accessing those files often in the future. In this session, attendees will hear about a sample app (Python) using four APIs from GCP & GWS to accomplish the goal of backing up those images, to clear them from Google Drive, analyzing their contents, and generating an inventory of the file names, types, sizes, contents, and archived location, all in a single spreadsheet. Join us to learn how to "stitch" together this compelling solution using REST APIs from Google.
