I'm not a savvy coder, so this is quite a challenge to me, but I'm trying to get this to work anyway:
I'm preparing a registration form on Google Forms. People will insert their personal data and, in the end, I would need people to be able to upload a few files (a photo, a CV, etc...). Such files would be stored on Google Drive.
Now, I've seen that there seems to be no straightforward way of doing it on Google Forms. I was thinking that my only option would be to try and get it done with Google Scripts and then embed that script inside my Google Form.
Is this possible? Can anyone help me with this?
Many, many thanks in advance!
In case you have a Google bussines account, you can create a file upload question type. See the announce here https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2016/10/five-new-ways-to-reach-your-goals.html

I have a template Google Doc with linked tables and charts that I need to programmatically update so that I can export it as PDF and send by email. I haven't found a way to do that neither with apps script nor google docs api. And I really want to avoid updating the template with static content.
I know this question has been asked before, but never has a positive solution been found.
If this is still not possible, maybe there is a work around? Like a chrome extension you can trigger that can simulate manual update? Or whatever. Doesn't have to be elegant or anything, just has to work somehow.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I would like to create a poll in Google Forms where the users could vote on their favorite image. For this, I'd like to create a multiple choice question, where every choice is an image. Since the amount of images is large, I'm looking for a way to automate this process - creating a multiple choice question out of the images in a Google Drive folder.
I've examined the Google Forms API, as well as searched for similar questions, but I couldn't find any API that would let me do this programmatically using Apps Script.
I was wondering if anyone knows if this action is possible, and if so, how?

Here's an example of what I'm trying to achieve - the script constructs a form from images of trees that exist in a folder in my Google Drive.
Thank you for your time!
I've been searching around and can't seem to find what I'm trying to do. Not sure if it's even possible, but I'm looking for a Google Script that would probably run on a time-based trigger, say everyday at 4:00am that will grab a single folder from the users Desktop computer and automatically back it up to the Drive.
Is something like this possible? Can GAS access files that are located on a users computer, not just on their Google Drive?
Thanks in advance.
Sean.
It is impossible to do with scripts, but you might want to look into http://www.duplicati.com/
It's open source and works well for one-way upload (ie. backup)
The way to do it will be to use the Google Drive API.
You can choose from may languages in order to implement it.
I see that some people are trying to grab data from google spreadsheets via google apps script to stick in their google sites:
How to access data on different Google Spreadsheet through Google Apps Script?
I could bash away at code snippets, but I don't suppose anyone has got a working example anywhere?
Many thanks in advance
I was looking for something like this:

At the moment I don't think you'll see anything if you are not logged in to Google, but if you are then it might show this:
Welcome, don't know your name, but if you add your details here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq72y9iq5_1UdG5LR0tCVTRXOVQtbkNLR1Q3eE5MR0E#gid=0
I could tell you your next assignment
if your google mail is in the spreadsheet it will show a personalized message.
My idea is to manage what a student sees in a Google site for a course depending on how the instructor has updated the students data in an online spreadsheet, so the student can see which assignments they've completed - what they have to do next, and possibly even their grades ...
Can we write our front end design and use the google spreadsheet for the back-end for a website?
Thank You
Google Apps Script might also be a good option for you. You can host your code on the Google servers (all written in JavaScript) with easy access to all the spreadsheet and docs APIs. You can see a lot of tutorials on the site.
Another even simpler option might be Google Forms - if you are just trying to gather some data and record it in the spreadsheet.
You have probably already found an answer or a workaround, but here is an example from Google.
