Is there a way to open (and just view) a Racket file (e. g. .rkt or .scrbl extensions) from Google Drive?

[E Comer]

Dear Racket users:

Is there a way to open (and just view) a Racket file (in particular, with extensions .rkt or .scrbl) from Google Drive? (in my case is not necessary even to edit the file, just to verify content).

Thank you very much for any pointer to reach that purpose.

Please Keep Safe.

E. Comer

(P.S. Thank you for the outstanding Racket related tools: DrRacket is great, particularly in conjunction with Scribble).

A quick Google returns this site: https://superuser.com/questions/659666/how-do-i-get-google-drive-to-open-text-files-with-arbitrary-extensions-as-text-f

So it looks like there's no way if you are not willing to rename files or use a third-party text editor in Google Drive.

Sorry if it's slightly offtopic, but if you want to share a read-only snippet of
racket code, maybe the racket-away paste(bin) will be handy?

http://pasterack.org/

It can also run the code:)

Otherwise, recently I have started using https://cryptpad.fr as a casual
alternative to Google Drive, and it has a "Code" document type that has
Scheme syntax highligthing (and end-to-end encryption).

Best,

that should have been racket-*aware*, sorry for the typo.

Thank you Sorawee and Yury, for the references and alternatives. The https://cryptpad.fr , looks particularly promising option.

Some background: I'm looking for a way to share code (mainly) in .rkt and/or .scrbl files in order to share with students of some of my courses. The code is not yet ready to be totally open/public.

The platform that I used up to now, attach recently a script at the end of the file (i.e. not part of my code), when I download it. So I want to use another platform to share those files.

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and ideas.

Please Keep Safe.

Best regards,

Enrique Cómer
