How to Save/download an "image" from an external service url, into "Google drive folder" ?

Hi everyone,

I can't seem to find any information to figure out on how to Save/Download an image from an external url into my google drive in Appsheet.

I'm creating barcodes with an appsheet template "barcode generator" which uses an external service, that creates a link in the google sheet which is directly pointed to this service to create the barcode. for example 

https://barcode.tec-it.com/barcode.ashx?code=Code128&data=IZE0006&dpi=192&imagetype=PNG&rotation=0&e...

After creation of some barcodes, I created an automation to put the barcodes i can choose into a PDF file to be printed.
This works fine, but when I create several pdfs with several barcodes, I get a rate limit from this service, because it renders each time again the Barcode from the link in google sheet.

So I'm trying to figure out on how to save this image (from the link above), into my google drive folder called "BarcodeImages" --> So it renders the Barcode only once and saves it in the Google drive folder.

(This can be done manualy, But I'm trying to avoid manual work ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

Which then in return I can use them in Appsheet with no limitations into PDF files directly from the google drive folder. 

Can anyone help me out with this please.

Thanks already in advance, kind regards.

D.
