I was wondering if it is able to be used to create the folder in Dropbox or is it going to require me to manually upload the folders?

If you require something I do Freelance work so you're welcome to get in touch directly (https://www.pbainbridge.co.uk/p/contact-page.html).<br /><br />Kind regards<br />PhilPhil Bainbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553620286575352544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379565521701914821.post-39537315109043009522022-11-21T17:37:25.929+00:002022-11-21T17:37:25.929+00:00How can I alter the script to bypass the creation ...How can I alter the script to bypass the creation of folders/links and just add copies of files to a list of existing folders?

Took a bit of time but still so much faster than manually creating 48 folders and duplicating the files that went into them.NAPLS Tech Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628499291008463542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379565521701914821.post-10141916702652900112022-10-06T08:53:12.874+01:002022-10-06T08:53:12.874+01:00Hi

I agree that I have encountered that issue you describe with Google Forms and indeed use the workaround. However I do this so infrequently that I have not jumped into the Google Forms API to look at creating surveys that way at this point.<br /><br />Kind regards<br />PhilPhil Bainbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553620286575352544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379565521701914821.post-70304462961658341022022-10-05T18:12:37.296+01:002022-10-05T18:12:37.296+01:00I copied a folder called Master which contained a ...I copied a folder called Master which contained a PDF document, a Google spreadsheet and the two associated forms. Your tool created 48 copies of the folder with each properly named for a teacher. I did have an issue though that the forms were not linked to the spreadsheet. As a workaround, I can copy just the spreadsheet and PDF. This way, the forms are copied into the Master folder and are linked to the spreadsheet. Is it possible to achieve this goal without the workaround? Awesome tool either way. Thanks for sharing it.

I have this post for bulk creating just folders (https://www.pbainbridge.co.uk/2020/06/bulk-create-google-drive-folders-20.html).<br /><br />You would however also need to combine it with something like this one for iterating through the existing folders (https://www.pbainbridge.co.uk/2019/01/batch-get-existing-folder-ids-names.html).<br /><br />Neither are a 'tweak' per se.<br /><br />Kind regards<br />PhilPhil Bainbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553620286575352544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379565521701914821.post-58240409460742194782021-12-12T12:42:53.925+00:002021-12-12T12:42:53.925+00:00I need to create 1 folder under about 100 existing...I need to create 1 folder under about 100 existing folders.
