Save Google Voice messages to Google Drive as MP3

When you have a message on your voicemail, to a phone number that is linked to your account at Google Voice, you receive an email notification to your Gmail account along with a link so you can hear the audio message on your phone or computer. Below we will post a script that will enable you to automatically save this voice messages to your Google Drive as MP3 files.

The web application was developed by Amit Agarwal (amit [at] labnol.org) and scans your Gmail mailbox for any voicemail messages from Google Voice. Once discovered, it saves the sound to a specific folder on your Google Drive. The application converts voicemail messages into the MP3 file, and lets you search for them through Google Drive.

Στην επόμενη σελίδα, κάντε click on button of Google Voice and wait for the application to prepare. That's it. The app will run in the background and monitor your Gmail account for any messages from Google Voicemail.

It will create a new folder called Google Voice in your Google Drive and store all the MP3 files it will convert from your voicemail. Also, whenever a voice message is received processing in your Gmail, it will show a new tag called MP3 to prevent the app from re-processing it.
