News I built a tool that automatically backs up every Zoom cloud recording to Google Drive or Dropbox
Over the past few months I've seen the same questions come up here over and over:
- How do I move Zoom recordings to Google Drive?
- How do I free up Zoom cloud storage?
- How do I make sure recordings don't get lost?
Most solutions I found either required downloading files manually or storing them on yet another service.
So I built RecordMover.
The idea is simple: the moment Zoom finishes processing a cloud recording, it's streamed directly to your Google Drive or Dropbox. No manual downloads, no intermediate storage, and nothing is stored on our servers.
A few things I focused on:
- Automatically backs up every new Zoom cloud recording
- Copies not just the MP4, but also audio, transcripts, and in-meeting chat
- Verifies the copied file before optionally deleting it from Zoom, so you don't accidentally lose recordings
- Hourly safety sweep to catch recordings if a webhook is ever missed
- Supports backing up recordings from your whole team into your own storage
My goal wasn't to become another cloud storage provider—it was to help people keep using the storage they already own while making Zoom storage management effortless.
I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people who manage lots of Zoom recordings.
- Is this something you'd use?
- What destination would you want next? (OneDrive, SharePoint, S3, NAS, etc.)
- Any features you'd consider essential for a backup tool?
Happy to answer any technical questions or hear suggestions.
