Add-in Manager with Google Drive

SophieCuvillier — Fri, 27 Oct 2023 07:33:32 GMT

Hello,

I have an add-in that I deploy and maintain at a customer site with dozens of users. The problem is that when I deliver a new version, the users have to update. This customer has the google suite, so I drop the new version each time on a private google Drive directory , and the users have to retrieve this new version each time to update. We all agree that this is very time-consuming, not optimized and a source of errors if the user forgets...

I'd seen the "Add-in Manager" add-in (https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Add-Ins/Add-In-Manager/ta-p/43736), which allows you to manage add-ins, except that you have to specify a PROD folder to which all users must have access. Usually it's a shared folder (https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMPer-Cable/Add-In-Manager-Part-2-Deploying-auto-updating-add-ins-to-users/ba-p/47909?trMode=sourceà ... But I've asked IT and it's not possible to create a shared folder for all these users. The PROD folder must correspond to the web address of the private google drive directory where I traditionally store versions. Is it possible to adapt Add-in manager to have a web address at the base instead of a shared folder?

This doesn't directly address the Addin-Manager/Google Drive integration, but maybe it can at least help.

https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Scripts/Integrating-Google-Drive-with-JMP-using-HTTP-Request/ta-p/545688

The article steps through an example of using HTTP Request with Google Drive. The use case was that csv files were stored on Google Drive and a user wanted to access Google Drive and easily open the csv files in JMP.
