Summary

Adds YT2GDrive to Images / Videos / Docs > Videos > Analyze / Record.

URL: https://photovideo.ae/download

What it does

  • Downloads video from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, Facebook, and 1000+ sites (powered by yt-dlp)
  • Saves directly to Google Drive for cloud evidence archiving — no local storage required
  • Alternatively downloads straight to the user's device

Why it fits OSINT researchers

  • Journalists & investigators can archive video evidence directly to Google Drive without installing software
  • Documentary researchers can collect source material from multiple platforms in one place
  • No command-line knowledge needed — web UI with Google OAuth
  • Google-verified OAuth integration (no third-party credential handling)
  • Free, no account required for basic use; Google Drive save requires Google login
  • Open-source backend (yt-dlp)

Node placement

Images / Videos / Docs > Videos > Analyze / Record — after yasiv-youtube

Checklist

  • Tool is live and publicly accessible
  • Free tier available
  • No local install required
  • Relevant to OSINT/media preservation use cases
  • JSON is valid (validated with Python json.load)
  • (R) marker added per convention (requires Google login for Drive save)
