Questions about this workflow
Does this create a copy of the asset?
No. It creates a shortcut to an existing Drive file or folder.
Can Cloudinary asset references be used directly?
The action needs an existing Google Drive item. If the asset is only in Cloudinary, first use a workflow that uploads it to Drive.
