Create a video on how to Upload a File to Google Drive (with Bonus to gs://bucket)

Anvil Q&A
1

Hello,
Could you create a video on how to upload a file to google drive? (I presume that is where you are directing people to save a file by default vs saving it to /usr/local/mywebsite/useruploads/ vs saving it to S3 vs gs://bucket_name/path_to_image_object)

(or an app example I can clone? that works)

**It would be great if it showed:

  1. Use:
    https://anvil.works/doc/index.html#-div-id-fileloader-fileloader-div-
  2. to upload a file to google drive
  3. Demo it
  4. In video at the end show advance extra tip:
    Show how to upload to gs://bucket_name/path_to_image_object
  5. demo gs bucket

Thank you
Lucas

Hi Lucas,

Request noted! Actually, our officially preferred file upload mechanism is to use a Media column in Data tables. Here’s a forum post with some sample code, where I talk about how to do this (and how to make the file downloadable afterwards):
