Automated GroupMe Shared File Archiving
Every Monday, WebRun opens your GroupMe group, reviews the photos and files shared over the past week, saves each one into a dated Google Drive folder, and posts a Slack confirmation once the week's items are archived so nothing shared in the group gets lost.
How do I back up files shared in a GroupMe group?
WebRun reviews your GroupMe group every Monday for photos and files shared over the past week, saves each one into a dated Google Drive folder, and posts a Slack confirmation once the archive is complete. Nothing is deleted from GroupMe itself, so the group stays exactly as your members left it.
- Shared GroupMe files are backed up automatically every week
- Nothing shared in the group gets lost to chat scroll
- Past weeks stay easy to find in dated Drive folders
Built for Student groups · sports teams and clubs · event organizers · community group admins

Questions, answered
Does WebRun delete anything from GroupMe?
No. It only copies shared photos and files into Google Drive. Nothing is removed or changed inside the original GroupMe group.
What if nothing new was shared that week?
The Slack confirmation still posts and simply says there was nothing new to archive, so you know the check ran.
Can I find files from a specific week later?
Yes. Each week gets its own dated Google Drive folder, so you can go straight to the week you need.
