Open a folder (Google Drive link)

[FaCe]

Hi all,

i’ve an url column

In the app it’s shown as below:

When click on it, the folder is opened within my Google Chrome browser, but i’d like to open the folder on my Mac instead (in finder): is it possible ?

One more: any chance to hide the https.//drive … and change with a name like ‘LINK’ ?

I’ve inserted in Display Name “LINK” but it’s not shown in the App, any hints ?

[FaCe]

I elaborate a bit what i’m looking for.

i’d like to show the folder i.e. Test folder when click on link within Appsheet, is it possible ?

Have you explored folder as table option in AppSheet.

AppSheet Office Hours Recap: Data Source Connections Featuring Google Drive Folders

The folder “App_Documents” from Google drive is included as table in the app and is displayed in the table view.

Folder in G Drive

The above folder is Included as a table in the app as shown below

Finally the below is the table view based on that table

For displaying file name in the table view , please add a VC called [FileName] with an expression something like CONCATENATE([File])

This VC is required because in table view a file type column is displayed as an icon.

There’s no way to tell AppSheet to open it in Finder.

This topic is a recent example of what you want.

Thanks @Suvrutt_Gurjar but all that can open folder in finder ?

[Suvrutt_Gurjar]

No, as Steve already replied.

I was responding to your requirement quoted below thinking you wish to display a GDrive folder as a view within Appsheet app.

Sorry, if I misunderstood your requirement.

Hoping not to be too OT any way to open Finder when display in Chrome a Google Drive folder (on Mac) ? Seems impossibile too …

I’ve tried it but seems there’s still something i’m missing …

Using Type as Hyperlink now creates 2 fields

Link text and the Google Drive link.

I’d like to show a custom name in the first field like “LINK PRATICA” , instead of manually add it every time, is it possible ?
