Add-in Manager with Google Drive

SophieCuvillier
Level IV

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-us... ... 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.

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.
