Watch out for

Large photo uploads can timeout during processing, so implement retry logic with exponential backoff before failing the request.
Unique Unit IDs might collide if multiple buildings share codes, add a timestamp suffix to ensure global uniqueness across all units.
Gmail attachments have size limits that could block high-res photos, compress images automatically before sending them via email.
Row deletion in Sheets can orphan linked Drive files, so maintain an audit log of deleted rows to prevent broken references.
