is there a way to let the app look for file outside root folder in Google Cloud Storage

[Sattavut_Sudarc]

for example i have 2 apps that have root folder like this /appsheet/data/MYAPP1 , /appsheet/data/MYAPP2

and i want MYAPP2 to look for file in root folder of MYAPP1. Is it possible without modifying the root folder of MYAPP2 ?

Thanks.

Hi @Sattavut_Sudarc 

As far as I know, the only way to do so is to use url link for such files, that are publicly available.

Otherwise, it's not possible.

Please note that: it is not because YOU have access to a file that someone using the app with your credential will access this file. The file must be public.

More information here:

For your case, you may want to use a common root folder for your two apps.

i guess i have to go with the public URL then.

Thanks a lot  Aurelien

I believe (though I have not tried myself) that you can add a shortcut in one folder to the other in Google Drive. Right-click one folder and choose Add a shortcut. Let us know what you find.
