Google Sites Intranet

[Gabriel Clifton]

I am trying to get a Google Sites Intranet going as a file server hosting our districts program installers and drivers. Is there a way to use GAM to upload files and folders?

Looks like Sites API only supports upload for Classic Sites, which is going away (if it hasn't already).

You may be able to use Drive API to upload localfiles, and have a link to a folder/Shared Drive

But you may run into an issue like below:

Google Drive isn't really suitable for public file distribution (accessible to anyone in the domain, or accessible to anyone with link)

"Old sites" is slated to die at end of 2021. I wouldn't put new things on it. They may push back the sunset date (because honestly new sites is not a replacement for old sites) but regardless the API for old sites isn't robust, and they're clearly not putting any effort into maintaining or updating it.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

Ross pointed me to rclone. I'm trying that pointing it to a shared drive right now for our technicians. Just copying program installs and drivers. I'll look at your links later. Doing a network refresh this week so I'm only at my desk "after hours" when everyone else is sitting at home drinking their adult beverages.
