I am using a shared Google account and the rest of the people with access to the account have even less programming knowledge than me. I have a custom function that greatly helps us to reduce the time we spend on a repetitive task but we need to do that task on many sheets and more sheets are continuously being added to the Drive.
They are not too comfortable with bringing up the Apps Script editor each time the code needs to be run so I have been trying to add a custom menu to the GSheets UI so the function can be run just by clicking on one button.
Is there a way for me to get this menu to appear on every single GSheet in the Drive?
I have searched high and low for the answer to this question and have been asked to use libraries and to publish the script as an add-on. I read that libraries might slow down the script execution and the editor still needs to be brought up so I tried the add-on method instead.
After spending hours navigating through the confusing maze that is the Google Cloud Platform and Google Marketplace SDK, I found out that to pass OAuth verification, I need to have my own domain and we just don't have the budget for domain hosting.
Any help or solutions offered would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am attempting to write a script or make a FB App to automatically download images from profiles on Facebook at a designated time during the day, and have it repeat each day. After this is accomplished I aim to implement the reverse of this to upload images within an album to a profile, but that will be for another day. These are going to be profiles that I am friends with, or public profiles.
Having some issues determining where to start as it seems this isn't done on a regular. Can anyone provide a direction for me to head in? I have looked into the Facebook Developers website, as well as on stack overflow and haven't seem to find any solution that is close. I have stumbled upon examples on how to autodownload from Reddit, but Facebook is another beast entirely it seems.
Is this something that can be accomplished via Java or Python, or should I actually go through the Facebook API? At a bit of a loss as to how to proceed.
ANY help would be appreciated as I am not a web developer. I mostly dabble with MATLAB and Java so this is a bit outside of my expertise.
Once again to summarize, I am seeking to auto download images from Facebook profiles either as they are posted or at selected times. Also this idea could be changed to download from Instagram if that is somehow easier.
I am unsure how to go about it or what languages would work together to do this. I am also not that experienced in programming.
I want this program to be able to have a Account System to register and login for users and then give them access to certain tools such as forms to fill out for reports and/or requests which can be reviewed and I also want to try to get it to work integrated into a website.
I would like to build an app using Ionic/Parse that allows me to take a picture with a mobile device camera, and do text processing of the image. From what I gather open source libraries are a little finicky, so for the purposes of prototyping I was hoping to use Google Drive's OCR capabilities.
The user would take a picture of a document, and my Cloud Code would send the picture to google drive, perform the ocr, and on ocr success, the picture would be sent back to my Parse db.
I am looking for some wisdom on this approach...Is this realistic or am I just totally off my rocker? Is there perhaps a service that integrates the two things? Am I just going to waste the same amount of time getting this to work as I would trying to integrate an open source OCR library? From an implementation prospective, would I run into authentication/data format/whathaveyou issues?
Hoping for some, been there tried that, these are some useful lessons..
Thanks!
Disclosure: I run this service.
Approach seems reasonable. http://ocrestful.com does exactly what you're describing, via an all-REST API. Permanently free tier available.
I've been making some tweaks as well as adding finishing touches to an app I've been working on. I just noticed my computer started to load very slowly when compiling the app. after several screen crashes and freezes I decided to reboot in a various number of ways. http://www.macworld.com/article/2018853/when-good-macs-go-bad-steps-to-take-when-your-mac-wont-start-up.html
Thankfully I still have all my files and multiple Xcode snapshots for me to use. I don't have a flash drive on me and was wondering what would be the best online service to store my app for the time being?
I know this might be a tad unrelated but I feel this is an important topic and if anyone has any suggestions about which service to use for this task, I'd love to hear it ...ie Google drive , Dropbox, etc...I'm a noob with these services
You can use bitbucket.com, it's free for small projects.
Github is the best repository, it allows you to backup your project, you can clone it anywhere at any system.And you can update your project as well. Along with this, You can make it private.

There is another option if you don't want this to be some console
there is an iCloud drive available in Favourites, that is located in left side of any Finder Folder.
I am proficient with web development languages like HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, etc., but I've never written a macro for a desktop and don't know where to start. I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
At work, I perform a very repetitive task that involves the following steps:
Opening up a lead page in Salesforce (My company's web-based CRM client)
Clicking on the email button
Selecting an email template
Clicking the send email button
Opening up a new lead page and repeating steps 2-4
I do this for about 2-300 emails per day. It takes about an hour and a half, and I would like to automate this process as much as I can. I am on Windows. Is there a program out there I can use?
You can automate it with tools like Selenium (IDE is good option for such task if you know JS) or Sikuli. A list of GUI_testing/automation_tools. But since you are
on Windows.
I'm using PowerShell for similar tasks - check my email, login to Firewalls, read news etc. Here is my article of how you can achieve the same using simple user agents. Feel free to reuse the scripts.
If you have any questions about the implementation details - just ask me.
Cheers
