Hi
Is anyone aware of a way to get a handle to the UI while running inside a Drive context?
A method that is the same as DocumentApp.getUI() and Spreadsheet.getUI() but isde of Drive (there is no DriveApp.getUI).
Thank you
Pail

Looks like you can only do that with Google Docs, Slides, Forms and Sheets.
You can create a Google Workspace Add-on (distinct from Editor Add-ons) for Google Drive and leverage CardService. But you'll be limited to a handful of widgets and constrained to a 300px width sidebar to the right of the UI.
Another alternative is to create a Google Chrome extension to inject custom elements into the webpage (but that's outside the realm of Apps Script).

Hi
Thanks for the input. I agree; I don't think it is [easily] possible.
