RecordFlow

RecordFlow is a specialized automation tool designed to eliminate the manual, time-consuming process of downloading, organizing, and storing Zoom cloud recordings. The product automatically archives every Zoom cloud recording directly to a user's Google Drive the moment a meeting ends, and it includes a powerful backfill feature that can retrieve recordings from the past two years. This eliminates the need for manual downloads, prevents forgotten files, and removes the requirement to pay for Zoom storage that is no longer necessary. Setup is remarkably fast, taking approximately 60 seconds: users sign in with their Zoom account, connect their Google Drive, and select a destination folder. Once configured, new recordings sync within minutes automatically and permanently. RecordFlow handles every file type produced by Zoom, including video in MP4 format, audio in M4A format, transcripts in VTT format (plus a formatted Google Doc version), and chat logs. These files are organized by year and date for easy retrieval. An optional auto-delete feature can clear recordings from Zoom on a safe delay once the Drive copy is verified, freeing up Zoom storage automatically. The tool is built for reliability with chunked transfers that handle large files without failure, smart deduplication for safe re-running, and automatic retries. Recordings stream directly to the user's Google Drive without being stored on RecordFlow's servers, and the service uses OAuth 2.0 and AES-256 encryption for security. It is designed for coaches, consultants, therapists, professors, and small teams who cannot afford to lose a recording.

Automatic Sync

RecordFlow eliminates the need for any manual intervention by automatically transferring every new Zoom cloud recording to Google Drive within minutes of the meeting ending. Once a user sets up the integration, which takes about 60 seconds, the process runs continuously and permanently in the background. Users receive an email notification with a direct link to the recording when it is ready in Google Drive, ensuring they are always informed without needing to check manually.

Comprehensive File Archiving

The tool does not just transfer the video file. RecordFlow archives every file Zoom produces for a meeting, including the video in MP4 format, audio in M4A format, transcripts in VTT format, and chat logs. It goes a step further by converting the VTT transcript into a formatted Google Doc, making it searchable and editable within Google Drive. All files are organized by year and date, creating a logical and easy-to-navigate folder structure.

Optional Auto-Delete from Zoom

To help users manage Zoom's limited storage capacity, RecordFlow offers an optional auto-delete feature. After a recording has been successfully transferred to Google Drive and the copy is verified, RecordFlow can automatically delete the recording from Zoom's cloud. This is done on a safe delay to ensure the Drive copy is intact, freeing up valuable Zoom storage space without any risk of data loss.

Secure by Design

RecordFlow prioritizes security at every level. The service uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication, meaning it never sees or stores user passwords for Zoom or Google Drive. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using AES-256 encryption. Critically, recordings stream directly from Zoom to Google Drive through RecordFlow's system without ever being stored on RecordFlow's servers. The application has been approved by Zoom after a security review and is available on both the Zoom App Marketplace and Google Workspace Marketplace with minimal access permissions.

Coaches and Consultants

Coaches and consultants who record multiple client sessions each week face a constant battle with Zoom's 5 GB storage limit. RecordFlow automatically archives each session to Google Drive immediately after the meeting ends, ensuring no client session is ever lost due to storage constraints. The organized folder structure by date makes it simple to retrieve past sessions for review or to share with clients as deliverables.

Education Teams and Professors

Lectures and class recordings need a permanent, accessible home for students. RecordFlow allows professors and education teams to automatically send every lecture recording directly to a shared Google Drive folder. Students gain lasting access to course materials without relying on Zoom's temporary storage. The automatic transcript conversion to Google Docs is particularly valuable for creating searchable notes and study materials.

Business Teams

Business teams that record all meetings, from client calls to internal strategy sessions, need a reliable archiving solution. RecordFlow ensures every recording is safely stored in a centralized Google Drive location without any team member needing to remember to download and upload files. This creates a single source of truth for all meeting records, organized consistently, and accessible to the entire team.

IT and Operations Admins

IT and ops admins responsible for an entire Zoom account can install RecordFlow once as an admin and opt members into the service. Every selected member's recordings are automatically archived into one root folder in Google Drive, with sub-folders created automatically for each member. This gives the admin complete control over the organization and retention of all company recordings without burdening individual team members.

How long does it take to set up RecordFlow?

Setup takes approximately 60 seconds. You sign in with your Zoom account, connect your Google Drive, and pick a destination folder. No credit card is required to start, and the tool works with any Zoom paid plan.

What files does RecordFlow transfer to Google Drive?

RecordFlow transfers every file Zoom produces for a cloud recording. This includes the video file in MP4 format, the audio file in M4A format, the transcript in VTT format (which is also converted into a formatted Google Doc), and the chat log. All files are organized in folders by year and date.

Is my data secure with RecordFlow?

Yes. RecordFlow uses OAuth 2.0 so it never sees your passwords. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest with AES-256 encryption. Recordings stream directly from Zoom to Google Drive and are never stored on RecordFlow's servers. The application has been approved by Zoom after a security review and uses minimal access permissions.

Can RecordFlow handle large video files?

Yes. RecordFlow is built with chunked transfers that reliably handle even hour-long meetings without timeouts or failed uploads. The system includes automatic retries and smart deduplication, making it safe to re-run if needed. An hourly safety net ensures that no recordings are missed.
