🚀 How It Works

1. The app watches for PowerPoint (POWERPNT.EXE) processes and extracts opened file paths.
2. Each new file is copied to a folder like C:\CopiedPresentations.
3. Files are then uploaded to a specific Google Drive folder using a service account key.
4. The service account needs access to the target Drive folder (via "Share with...").
