Apps you need
Tumblr makes it simple for people to make a blog. It allows users to post text, photos, videos, links, quotes, and audio.
Google Drive is a versatile cloud-based platform that lets you store your files, photos, videos, and more safely. You can access them from anywhere and share with others, making collaboration a breeze.
IFTTT helps to create applications connections with a simple statement: if this then that. For example: "Tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter". You define a task by a trigger and an action.
