Organize Cloud Files by Created, Modified, or Backup Date

Organize cloud files by created modified accessed or backup date with Blober

Why Date Organization Solves Real Retrieval Problems

Section titled "Why Date Organization Solves Real Retrieval Problems"

Dates are one of the few metadata fields shared by photos, videos, documents, exports, and cloud objects. When filenames are meaningless and folders are inconsistent, a date-based destination gives users a predictable place to start.

Examples:

  • A photographer needs all files created during a shoot.
  • An agency needs exports modified during the current campaign.
  • A business needs monthly snapshots of reports.
  • An IT team needs each backup run separated from previous runs.
  • A creator needs footage grouped by the date supplied by the source.

Blober supports two different date operations: filtering which files qualify and placing qualified files into date-based paths.

After selecting a source folder, expand Advanced Filters (Optional) in Source Configuration. Created Date Range can restrict the source to any time, the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days.

After selecting the destination folder, expand Advanced Path Template (Optional). Date variables can then appear anywhere in the destination path.

The source date filter currently evaluates file creation time. Choosing a path variable is independent: matching files can be arranged by created, modified, accessed, or current processing date.

Use:

{current_date}
{current_datetime}

These represent when Blober processes the file. They answer, "When did this workflow place the file here?"

backup-runs/{current_date}/{file_dir}/{filename}

This is useful for snapshots and migration batches. It is not the file's historical creation date.

Use:

{file_created_date}
{file_created_datetime}

These use creation metadata reported by the source adapter.

created/{file_created_date}/{filename}

This is often suitable for camera media and newly produced documents, but cloud providers may interpret "created" as the time an object entered that service rather than the original camera capture time.

Use:

{file_modified_date}
{file_modified_datetime}

Modification time is useful for edited deliverables, reports, design exports, and files whose important event is the last save rather than initial creation.

last-edited/{file_modified_date}/{file_dir}/{filename}

Use:

{file_accessed_date}
{file_accessed_datetime}

Access time can be useful on filesystems that maintain it accurately. It is often weaker for object storage, where an access timestamp may not be exposed, may not mean "last viewed," or may be mapped from other provider metadata.

Do not choose access date merely because it exists in the variable list. Preview real values from the intended source first.

The date form creates broader groups:

2026-07-20

The datetime form includes hours, minutes, and seconds:

2026-07-20_14-30-00

Use a date for browsable daily folders. Use a datetime when separating runs, reducing filename collisions, or preserving event ordering matters.

For example:

exports/{file_modified_date}/{filename}

creates one folder per modification day, while:

exports/{file_modified_datetime}_{filename}

adds the timestamp to each filename.

A date-only template can merge files from unrelated source folders:

{file_created_date}/{filename}

To keep project or camera subfolders beneath the selected source boundary:

{file_created_date}/{file_dir}/{filename}

Remember that {file_dir} is empty for directly selected files and files at a selected folder's root. Read how file_dir is calculated before using it as the only project identifier.

Select the whole wedding folder, include RAW and video extensions, and use:

originals/{file_created_date}/{file_dir}/{filename}

This groups media by source-reported creation day while retaining nested camera folders.

Select the reports folder and use:

report-archive/{current_date}/{file_dir}/{filename}

Each workflow run enters a dated snapshot folder. Use Copy so the working reports remain untouched.

Select campaign folders, include PDF/SVG/PNG/WebP, exclude draft folders, and use:

deliverables/{file_modified_date}/{file_dir}/{filename}

The destination reflects when deliverables were last changed.

When an export must be tied to the exact transfer:

exported/{current_datetime}/{file_dir}/{filename}

The workflow time is explicit even if source dates are inconsistent.

What Blober Can and Cannot Know From a Date

Section titled "What Blober Can and Cannot Know From a Date"

Blober organizes from the metadata each source provides. It does not read EXIF capture dates from inside an image or work out a date from what the photo shows.

Before a large transfer:

  1. Select a representative folder.
  2. Enter the intended date template.
  3. Review several source and destination examples.
  4. Check files from different providers or upload histories.
  5. Use Copy for the first run.

If the source reports upload time as creation time, the preview will reveal it. Choose modified date, current date, or a simpler preserved hierarchy based on the actual data rather than the variable's name alone.

See the complete path-template guide for every variable and the copy-versus-move guide for a safe rollout.

Organize Cloud Files by Type and Extension

Organize cloud files by type and extension during transfer with Blober

When users say "organize by type," they may mean either:

  1. Transfer only certain types.
  2. Transfer many types but place each in a type-specific destination.

Blober supports both operations without inspecting file contents.

  • File Types in Source Configuration > Advanced Filters decides which extensions qualify.
  • {file_ext} in Destination Configuration > Advanced Path Template inserts the matching file's extension into its path.

An extension is the suffix from the filename. For DSC_4821.ARW, {file_ext} is arw and {filename_no_ext} is DSC_4821.

After selecting a folder, expand Advanced Filters (Optional). Built-in groups include:

  • Images: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, SVG, WebP
  • Videos: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM
  • Documents: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, MD
  • Raw Photos: CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAW
  • Code: JS, PY, JAVA, CPP, HTML, CSS

You can combine extensions. If a required extension is not represented by a convenient category, use a glob include:

**/*.{mxf,braw,r3d}

Extension matching is case-insensitive. CLIP.MP4 and clip.mp4 qualify as the same type.

To transfer a mixed selection and create one folder per exact extension:

by-type/{file_ext}/{filename}

Examples:

by-type/mp4/interview.mp4
by-type/arw/DSC_4821.ARW
by-type/pdf/release-form.pdf
by-type/svg/logo.svg

This is literal extension organization. It creates both jpg and jpeg folders because those are different extensions. It also creates separate doc and docx folders.

If broader categories such as images, video, and documents are required, use separate workflows:

Workflow: Archive video
File Types: video extensions
Template: video/{file_dir}/{filename}
Workflow: Archive RAW photos
File Types: RAW extensions
Template: raw/{file_dir}/{filename}

Separate workflows are clearer than pretending {file_ext} knows that .mov and .mp4 belong to a business category called video.

A pure type split can mix unrelated clients:

{file_ext}/{filename}

For project-based work, retain the relative hierarchy:

{file_ext}/{file_dir}/{filename}

Selected folder:

Agency

Source file:

Agency/Client-A/Campaign-7/Final/hero.webp

Destination:

webp/Client-A/Campaign-7/Final/hero.webp

The selected Agency boundary is not repeated. {file_dir} begins below it.

One shoot folder contains RAW originals, JPEG previews, TIFF edits, and MP4 behind-the-scenes clips.

  • Archive RAW files to low-cost storage.
  • Copy JPEG/TIFF deliverables to a client share.
  • Send video to a separate editing volume.

Each workflow selects the same shoot folder but uses different extensions and destinations.

A project tree contains editable sources plus SVG, PNG, PDF, and WebP exports. Filter to export extensions and exclude drafts:

Include: **/*.{svg,png,pdf,webp}
Exclude: **/drafts/**
Template: deliverables/{file_ext}/{file_dir}/{filename}

A shared drive mixes invoices, scanned receipts, spreadsheets, and temporary office files. Create a durable document archive:

Include: **/*.{pdf,xls,xlsx,doc,docx}
Exclude: **/{temp,autosave}/**
Template: records/{file_ext}/{file_modified_date}/{filename}

Copy configuration and source files while excluding generated dependencies:

Exclude: **/{node_modules,dist,build,coverage}/**
Template: code-backup/{file_ext}/{file_dir}/{filename}

Limits of Extension-Based Organization

Section titled "Limits of Extension-Based Organization"

An extension is not a MIME-content inspection.

  • A renamed executable ending in .jpg still looks like a JPG to an extension rule.
  • Files without extensions produce an empty extension value.
  • Similar types can use several suffixes.
  • Sidecar files such as XMP may need explicit inclusion.

For trusted working files, extension rules are fast and understandable. For security validation or deep media classification, use a tool designed to inspect contents.

Select a small mixed folder and preview:

{file_ext}/{file_dir}/{filename}

Check:

  • Uppercase extensions normalize as expected.
  • Files without extensions have a sensible destination.
  • Duplicate filenames remain separated by {file_dir}.
  • Sidecar files are either deliberately included or excluded.

Continue with glob filtering for more exact type rules or size organization when large media and small documents need different storage.

Select Files With Glob Include and Exclude Filters in Blober

Select cloud files and narrow them with glob include and exclude filters in Blober

Many cloud tools begin with a text rule and expect the user to know the exact path. Blober starts with a visual boundary.

In Source Configuration, click Browse Files and Folders. You can select:

  • A single file
  • Several files from different locations
  • One folder
  • Several folders
  • An entire storage root when supported

Use Add More Files and Folders to extend the selection. The selected items appear in the workflow and can be removed individually.

This boundary matters for both performance and clarity. If the problem exists only inside Client-Projects/2026, do not ask the workflow to inspect an unrelated ten-year archive.

Advanced Filters (Optional) appears when the source selection contains a folder. Filters operate on files Blober finds as it scans that folder.

Directly selecting an individual file is already an exact instruction. Folder selection is what creates the need to decide which children qualify.

Available controls are:

  • File Types
  • Created Date Range
  • File Size
  • Include Subdirectories
  • Glob Filters: Include Pattern
  • Glob Filters: Exclude Pattern

All active criteria must allow the file. A .mov file can match the extension choice and still be rejected because it is older than the date range or sits inside an excluded proxy folder.

A glob is a path pattern:

  • * matches characters within one path level.
  • ** matches recursively across directory levels.
  • ? matches one character.
  • {jpg,png,webp} matches one of the listed alternatives.

Blober matches glob rules case-insensitively against both the file's full decoded path and its filename.

Examples:

*.jpg

matches a JPEG filename.

**/*.jpg

matches JPEG files recursively at any depth.

**/*.{jpg,jpeg,png,webp}

matches several image extensions recursively.

**/proxies/**

matches everything beneath any folder named proxies.

Include and Exclude Are Separate Fields

Section titled "Include and Exclude Are Separate Fields"

The Include Pattern creates the candidate set. The Exclude Pattern removes unwanted matches from it.

For original video files without proxies:

Include Pattern: **/*.{mp4,mov,mxf}
Exclude Pattern: **/{proxy,proxies,cache,temp}/**

Exclusion is evaluated first. A file rejected by the exclude rule stays rejected even when it also matches the include rule.

Type the pattern in the dedicated Exclude field. You do not need a leading !.

The Include Subdirectories checkbox controls whether the scan descends into nested folders.

Disable it when only the selected folder's immediate files matter. Enable it for project trees, archives, and buckets where matches may sit several levels deep.

This is separate from destination organization:

  • Source Include Subdirectories controls which nested files are found.
  • Destination {file_dir} controls whether their relative nested path appears in a custom destination template.

A workflow can search recursively but deliberately flatten the destination, or search recursively and preserve every level.

Selected folder: Agency
Include: **/*.{mp4,mov,jpg,png}
Exclude: **/{draft,drafts,proxy,proxies,temp}/**

Back up documents but not generated copies

Section titled "Back up documents but not generated copies"
Selected folder: Business
Include: **/*.{pdf,doc,docx,xls,xlsx}
Exclude: **/{cache,temp,autosave}/**

Copy source code without dependencies

Section titled "Copy source code without dependencies"
Selected folder: Projects
Include: **/*
Exclude: **/node_modules/**

One exclude field accepts one glob expression. Brace alternatives are useful when several folder names follow a consistent convention:

**/{node_modules,dist,build,coverage}/**

Use the built-in Raw Photos extension choices or include:

**/*.{cr2,nef,arw,dng,raw}

Then pair the filter with:

raw/{file_created_date}/{file_dir}/{filename}
Section titled "Why This Helps When Storage Has Weak Search"

Glob filters are not a permanent search index. They are repeatable selection rules applied while a workflow scans a known scope.

That distinction is useful for object storage:

  • No separate catalog must stay synchronized.
  • No full-text or media-analysis service is required.
  • Rules work from names and paths already present.
  • The matching files can be copied into a destination layout that is easier to browse next time.

If folder and filename conventions contain useful signals such as Final, RAW, 2026, or Client-A, globs turn those signals into action.

After source and destination are complete, Preview & Summary displays:

  • Active extension, date, size, and glob filters
  • Matching item count and known total size
  • Example source paths
  • Expected destination paths

Treat preview like the result page for your filter query. If expected files are missing, simplify the include rule. If unwanted files remain, refine the exclude rule or select a narrower folder.

A visual selection plus a short pattern is easier to verify than a single glob encoding every client, year, extension, and exception.

Prefer:

Select: Clients/Acme/2026
Include: **/*.{pdf,xlsx}
Exclude: **/drafts/**

over a long expression that starts at the account root. The smallest understandable scope is usually the safest one.

Next, learn how matched files can be organized by date, type, or size.

How Blober Handles Duplicate Files in Long-Running Backups

Resume long-running Blober backups and skip duplicate local downloads

Long Backups Need Two Different Kinds of Protection

Section titled "Long Backups Need Two Different Kinds of Protection"

A cloud library can take hours or days to copy. During that time, a computer may restart, a network may disconnect, or a provider may ask you to sign in again. You may also want to run the same export later to collect newer files.

Those situations sound similar, but they need different tools:

  • Resume the existing task after an interruption. Blober keeps that task's progress and does not process its completed records again.
  • Use destination deduplication for a new Local export. When a new task writes to the same local folder, filename deduplication can skip exact destination filenames that are already there.

Understanding that distinction is the key to avoiding unnecessary transfers.

Workflow vs Task: What Blober Remembers

Section titled "Workflow vs Task: What Blober Remembers"

A workflow is the reusable setup: source, destination, selected folders, filters, and naming rules. Each time you start that workflow, Blober creates a task that records the progress of that run.

Within a task, Blober records each source path as it is processed or skipped. If that task is interrupted and later continues, records already marked complete are not processed again.

This task state is stored locally with your workflows. Closing Blober, restarting the computer, or installing a newer version of Blober preserves the existing workflows and task history.

  1. Reopen Blober.
  2. Find the existing task on the Progress page.
  3. If it was paused, resume that same task.
  4. If it was still pending or running when Blober closed, the app can rediscover it after launch and continue it automatically.
  5. Complete any provider login prompt that appears.

Do not start a new task merely because the original task stopped. A new run has its own progress records and is not a continuation of the interrupted run.

This matters especially for long cloud transfers. A provider login may expire during a run; signing in again refreshes access, while the existing task keeps its completed-file state.

Why a New Local Export Keeps Same-Name Files by Default

Section titled "Why a New Local Export Keeps Same-Name Files by Default"

When Local is the destination, Blober's default deduplication setting is None (keep both files). If the computed destination path already exists, the new file is saved as name (1).ext, then name (2).ext, and so on.

That default is deliberate. Two different source items can have the same filename. Google Photos, cameras, and shared folders commonly contain unrelated files named IMG_0001.JPG. Silently discarding one would be worse than retaining both.

The tradeoff is that rerunning the same export into the same folder can create numbered copies unless you choose a stricter policy.

Skip Existing Local Files by Filename

Section titled "Skip Existing Local Files by Filename"

For a repeat export where an exact existing destination filename means "already downloaded," enable Local filename deduplication:

  1. Open or create the workflow.
  2. Select Local as the destination.
  3. Open the Local destination options.
  4. Set Deduplication to Filename (skip existing file).
  5. Save and run the workflow.

Blober checks the exact computed destination path before consuming the source file. It repeats that check when claiming the final filename, which also protects against two concurrent transfers racing to create the same path.

See the Local provider deduplication reference for the setting and its limitations.

SituationRecommended action
Blober, the computer, or the network stopped during a taskResume the existing task
A provider asks you to sign in again during a taskSign in, then continue the existing task
You installed a Blober update during a transferReopen Blober and continue the existing task
You intentionally rerun an export into the same Local folderEnable Filename (skip existing file)
The source may contain different files with identical namesKeep None (keep both files)
The destination is Google Drive or another cloud providerResume the same interrupted task; the Local filename option does not apply

Google Photos Reruns Without Numbered Copies

Section titled "Google Photos Reruns Without Numbered Copies"

Google Photos is a common case because a large library may take a long time to download and may contain repeated camera filenames.

For an interrupted Google Photos download, continue the existing task. For a deliberate later export into the same local folder, use Filename (skip existing file) only when preserving one file per exact destination filename matches your library.

The full setup is covered in How to Back Up Google Photos Without Google Takeout. That guide and the Local provider reference use the same deduplication setting described here.

Best Practices for Multi-Day Transfers

Section titled "Best Practices for Multi-Day Transfers"
  • Keep the computer connected to power and avoid moving or disconnecting the destination drive.
  • Use a stable destination folder and path template for the whole task.
  • Pause before intentionally shutting down if you want manual control over when the task continues.
  • After an unexpected restart, reopen Blober before creating anything new and check the existing task first.
  • Respond to provider login prompts instead of replacing the workflow.
  • Review files marked failed or skipped after completion. A provider may temporarily make an individual file unavailable even though the rest of the transfer completed.

Will updating Blober erase my workflows or task progress?

Section titled "Will updating Blober erase my workflows or task progress?"

No. Installing an update preserves the local database that contains workflows, tasks, and per-record state. Reopen the existing task after the update rather than creating a replacement.

Does filename deduplication compare file contents?

Section titled "Does filename deduplication compare file contents?"

No. It checks whether the exact destination filename already exists. It does not calculate or compare content hashes.

Does a skipped file count as complete in the same task?

Section titled "Does a skipped file count as complete in the same task?"

Yes. Blober saves the reason in the task details and continues with the remaining files. This prevents one unavailable source file or an intentional destination duplicate from blocking the rest of the transfer.

Can I use Local filename deduplication with Google Drive?

Section titled "Can I use Local filename deduplication with Google Drive?"

No. It is an option of the Local provider when used as a destination. When Google Drive is the destination, avoid duplicate transfers after an interruption by resuming the original task.

Blober runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and is built for transfers that are too large to babysit in a browser.

How to Transfer GoPro Cloud to Google Drive Without ZIP Files

Transfer GoPro Cloud photos and videos directly to Google Drive with Blober

Can You Move GoPro Cloud Files Directly to Google Drive?

Section titled "Can You Move GoPro Cloud Files Directly to Google Drive?"

Yes. Blober connects GoPro Cloud as a source and Google Drive as a destination, then streams each photo or video from one provider to the other. You do not have to select 25 files at a time, wait for ZIP archives, extract them, and upload them again.

This is useful when you want:

  • A second copy outside your GoPro subscription
  • GoPro footage beside other project files in Google Drive
  • Easier sharing with people who already use Google Workspace
  • A way to transfer a library that is too large for manual browser downloads
  • Blober installed on Windows, macOS, or Linux
  • A GoPro Premium or GoPro Plus account with media in GoPro Cloud
  • A Google account with enough available Drive storage
  • Google Drive OAuth credentials configured for Blober

If Google Drive is not connected yet, follow the Google Drive setup guide. The GoPro provider guide explains GoPro login and media selection.

  1. Open Blober and select Workflows in the left navigation.
  2. On the Workflows page, click New Workflow.
  3. Enter a Workflow Name, such as GoPro Cloud to Google Drive.
  4. Enter a Workflow Description that will help you recognize the backup later.
  5. Under Select Action, choose Copy - Duplicate files to destination.

Use Copy, not Move, for a backup. Copy leaves the original media in GoPro Cloud after it reaches Google Drive.

In the numbered 1 Source Configuration panel:

  1. Open Source Type and choose GoPro Cloud.
  2. Under GoPro Account, choose an account you have already connected.
  3. To connect another account, click Add account, then Open GoPro Login.
  4. Sign in to GoPro in the window that opens. Return to the workflow after authentication finishes.

The Refresh button reloads the account list if a newly connected account does not appear immediately.

  1. Click Browse Files and Folders under Select Source.
  2. Use the checkboxes to select the date folders, camera folders, photos, or videos you want to copy.
  3. Click Submit Selection.

Your selections appear in Source Configuration. Use Add More Files and Folders if you need to include another part of the library, or remove an item from the selection list if it should not be copied.

You can also expand Advanced Filters (Optional) to restrict the transfer by file type, creation date, file size, subdirectories, or include/exclude patterns. Leave these settings unchanged to copy everything inside the selected folders.

GoPro media is organized into paths such as:

/2026-01-23/HERO13 Black/videos/GX015742.MP4
/2026-01-23/HERO13 Black/photos/GOPR0001.JPG

The numbered 2 Destination Configuration panel appears after you submit at least one GoPro source selection.

  1. Open Destination Type and choose Google Drive.
  2. Under Google OAuth Credentials, choose the OAuth credentials JSON file created during Google Drive setup.
  3. When the instructions appear beneath the field, click Authorize Google Drive Access.
  4. Sign in to the Google account that will receive the GoPro backup and approve access.
  5. Return to Blober and wait for Authentication successful to appear.

Google Drive has a 750 GB daily upload limit for most accounts. A multi-terabyte GoPro library may therefore take several days even on a fast connection.

Step 5: Choose the Google Drive Folder

Section titled "Step 5: Choose the Google Drive Folder"
  1. Click Browse Folder under Select Destination Folder.
  2. Navigate to the Google Drive folder where the backup should be stored.
  3. Select that folder using its checkbox. Google Drive must have one destination folder for the workflow.
  4. Click Submit Selection.

The chosen folder appears as the Destination Path. You can expand Advanced Path Template (Optional) if you want Blober to build additional paths from variables such as the filename or file date. Leave it closed for a straightforward copy into the selected folder.

The numbered 3 Preview & Summary panel appears when both sides are complete. Check that it shows GoPro media going to the intended Google Drive path.

  1. Review the estimated items and size.
  2. Click Save Workflow.
  3. Wait for Workflow created successfully! before closing the editor.

Saving creates the reusable workflow but does not start a transfer.

Step 7: Run and Monitor the Transfer

Section titled "Step 7: Run and Monitor the Transfer"
  1. Find the new workflow on the Workflows page.
  2. Confirm its card shows GoPro Cloud as the source and Google Drive as the destination.
  3. Click the green Run button.
  4. Blober creates a task and opens the Progress page.

The Progress page shows transferred files, bytes moved, current activity, and individual file results.

Blober runs on your computer, but the files stream from GoPro Cloud to Google Drive rather than being saved as a permanent local copy first. Your credentials remain on your machine, and the media does not pass through Blober's servers.

Authentication sessions can expire during a large transfer. Network interruptions, provider throttling, app restarts, and computer restarts are also normal during multi-day jobs.

Blober stores the task and its per-file progress locally. If the transfer is interrupted:

  1. Reopen Blober.
  2. Return to the existing task on the Progress page.
  3. Resume that task if it was paused. An active pending or running task can be rediscovered after launch.
  4. If GoPro asks you to sign in again, complete the login to obtain a fresh session.

Do not create a replacement workflow or start a new task just to recover from an interruption. The existing task knows which source paths it has already processed; a new task has separate progress state.

Installing a newer Blober version also preserves existing workflows, task history, and task state.

For a deeper explanation, see How Blober Handles Duplicate Files in Long-Running Backups.

How Blober Handles Individual File Errors

Section titled "How Blober Handles Individual File Errors"

During a large library transfer, GoPro may occasionally list a file or part that is not ready to download or is temporarily unavailable.

Blober records the affected item and continues with the rest of the library instead of allowing one unavailable file to block every file that follows.

Review skipped and failed items when the task finishes. A skipped item remains in GoPro Cloud and can be checked there or retried later when it becomes available.

Will a Restart Create Duplicate Files in Google Drive?

Section titled "Will a Restart Create Duplicate Files in Google Drive?"

Not when you continue the same task. Completed source paths are remembered within that task and are not processed again.

A deliberate rerun of the workflow creates a new task. Google Drive allows multiple files with the same name, and the Local destination's Filename deduplication option does not apply to Google Drive. If a transfer stops, resume its original task rather than starting over.

Does Blober delete the files from GoPro Cloud?

Section titled "Does Blober delete the files from GoPro Cloud?"

Not when the workflow action is Copy. The source media remains in GoPro Cloud after it reaches Google Drive.

Does the transfer reduce video or photo quality?

Section titled "Does the transfer reduce video or photo quality?"

No. Blober requests the highest-quality downloadable GoPro variant and transfers the file without transcoding it.

Yes, Blober performs the transfer on your computer. It prevents system sleep while a task is active, but the computer must remain powered on and connected to the network.

What happens when GoPro login expires?

Section titled "What happens when GoPro login expires?"

Blober requests a new login. Authenticate again and continue the existing task; its completed-file state is preserved.

Can I cancel GoPro Premium immediately after starting?

Section titled "Can I cancel GoPro Premium immediately after starting?"

Wait until the task is finished and you have verified the files in Google Drive. Your GoPro subscription must remain active while Blober reads the source library.

Move your GoPro Cloud library to Google Drive without browser batches or ZIP files. Blober is a one-time purchase with no per-GB transfer fee.
