Can anyone shed any light on an issue with the drive picker. The same app
https://developers.google.com/appmaker/samples/drive-picker/
allows select of files but when you try to upload a file you get a "files failed to upload" message (see screenshot)
The app is being run as user so it can't be an identity issue.
By default the Drive Picker has “read only” access to a user’s Drive unless your App Maker application specifically requests “read/write” access. So basically in order to use the upload functionality you need to force your App Maker app to request “read/write” access. The easiest way to do this is to create a new ‘Server script’ and add a simple function that would require write access. For example:
function writeAccess() {
DriveApp.addFile();
}
This function will never be run or called but App Maker will recognize it needs write access to implement it and request it from the user. So simple add the script file and copy and paste the above. Once write access is available for your application you’ll be able to upload files with Drive Picker.

I'm trying to access/download files that have been uploaded to Firebase storage but I can't figure out how to. Some of the files have a create new access token button under the storage location which gives me a link to the file on the web. Unfortunately, this is only a few files and seems to only be ones uploaded from localhost?
I can't find any reference to this on the documentation, this should be achievable through the Firebase dashboard?
I've tried setting the access rules to allow reads in all cases which hasn't helped.
Thanks
In general, you're supposed to use getDownloadURL(), as shown in the documentation, from within your web or mobile app to generate a download URL for use within your app. Typically, the console is only used to revoke the tokens that enable to download of each file through that URL.
If that's not specifically what you're trying to do, perhaps you want to read up on other was to make data public in Cloud Storage. The Firebase console is not really the best mechanism to manage downloadable content.
I have been trying to make a very simple app using shiny that basically does this:
Let's users upload a photo
Downloads a csv file with the public links to each photo (this is to be used by shopify to download the images and re-upload to their servers)
I am having trouble doing the second part.
Both Dropbox and Google Drive let me store objects using their API and r packages, but they have deprecated a url to the direct object, instead opting for a "preview" version of the file, which of course makes shopify go crazy and reject my url.
Any thoughts as what other storage service or workaround that can work?
I am attempting to make my first Android application using the Firebase free trial for the server side of things. My app is fairly limited in scope and it is basically just a way of viewing some pre-created content that I have made.
I have manually created some JSON for the app to parse, and along with the JSON I have some images which I want the app to be able to download. However, I have no idea of how to store these images in Firebase so that they can be retrieved by the app.
My issue is... I have searched every variation of "Upload images to firebase" which I can think of and they are all about the user uploading their own content to Firebase via the app and not for me to upload the content of the app so it is available to be downloaded by the user.
Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of how to set this up? I can upload my JSON to Firebase to create the "database", it is just I do not know how to go about uploading my application data to Firebase so that users can then view it.
Thanks
You can upload your images manually from Firebase Storage.
from the left menu choose Storage and then upload file.
If you need the image URL. Press on the image and it will show details section at the bottom of this section you will find Download URL
Title says it simply.
I have a MS Access Database on a shared drive and the majority of users aren't experts so quite often the leave their PC with the Database open then it locks the PC, someone else will come along and switch it to their account, go to open the Database and get confused by the two files with the same name.
I can think of solutions for this e.g. using shortcuts so they dont actually see the laccdb or accdb file
But what I want to know is if there are any settings in Access (2010) that can make the .laccdb file hidden when it is created or just give it a random name like word or excel tmp files?
When I google this the results are more for removing people from the database so you can delete the laccdb file
This is actually a multi-user setup even though just one user can be active.
So you need to distribute the frontend to each user while having the backend in a folder with access for all users - that could be a subfolder of C:\Users\Public.
Here's is a script that will handle the distribution:
Deploy and update a Microsoft Access application in a Citrix environment
I'm trying implement a kind of private 'cloud store' for may web application. Let me explain, I have 'reports' (a file containing queries etc) which can be installed on a client pc. Normally, we e-mail them the files to end users whenever we create new ones and they manually import them into the app (using standard file upload in any browser).
Now we want to take it a step further and create a page which will pull a list of files from our site, eg. www.me.com/reports. The app will go through the list, compare to those installed and display new ones, updated ones etc. An end user could then just click on a button and the files are downloaded on the server and installed.
I'm trying to avoid writing any web server code, I'd prefer to just create a windows authenticated virtual directory that allows for file listing (or something close to this). I'm thinking maybe some javascript that will silently download the file to the client, then upload it back to the intranet iis server. All done without user interaction. Is this even possible?
I'd like to get anyone's thoughts on how something like this could be implemented, and what pitfalls I should watch out for.
Thanks
