Hi, 
I have files in a public google drive folder that I am having trouble uploading to the IGV web app. I get a message that says "Not found". 
This is the link to the folder: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EjuEyOTuHzWf2tlwpjJjy3JAkHuXwi7B/view?usp=sharing
Thank you

Sorry that link isn't helpful, its a link to download the folder.    You cannot load folders into IGV, you have to load individual files.   Can you describe in detail what steps you are using to obtain the URL for one of the files you are trying to load in the webapp, or better just paste those URLs here?

I am assuming  you are using https://igv.org/app, if so have you tried using the "file picker" in the app, then navigating to your file?

Hi, 
Thanks, I was using the file picker. 
I thought I had to make the folder public but it seems to work when I make it private. 
Thanks and best wishes
