save uploaded file on google drive

[David_Prague]

Hi all,

using AppSheet, I need to upload file and store it on google drive. The problem is, I need to store the file OUTSIDE of AppSheet default folder \My Drive\appsheet\data\AppId, where AppId is ID of the current app).

Optimal solution is ability to store file outside of "appseet" folder (e.g. to \My Drive\MyFolder), suboptimal solution is to save it to \My Drive\appsheet\data\MyFolder - i.e. outside of current application's default folder.

When I am trying to address folder in the field " Image/File folder path" (of the FILE column setting tab) using string "https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/", it creates structure of folders \My Drive\appsheet\data\AppId\https-.\drive.google.com\drive\MyFolder.

Where is the problem please?

Hi David,

 you need to change your app default folder (settings >informations> default app folder)

Note that every file path will start from this default folder.

In Google Drive, go into the folder you want accessible to your app and create a shortcut to it and place the shortcut under your app's default folder:

Make sure the folder is accessible to/shared with the user the app runs as.
