Create Shortcut to File/Folder
Tool to create a shortcut to a file or folder in google drive. use when you need to link to an existing drive item from another location without duplicating it.
Why this helps
Duplicated references can create confusion about which video is current, while a single file can be hard to discover from another project.
- Point teams to the canonical file
- Reduce duplicate copies of reference videos
- Make a source asset visible in another Drive location

Questions about this workflow
