I want to share Google Drive folders by sharing their folder link to people. An example folder is https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17Jh-Va8M1XQSJyrugV-iAtOTIwYePbvV
The folder contains original files as well as the new Google drive "shortcuts" (btw: I'm the owner of the original files where those shortcuts link to).
I want that also people which aren't signed in to a Google account are able to download the whole folder. I noticed 2 new problems which occured since Google introduced the new shortcut system this year:
signed out users aren't able to download all files of a folder with one click. There's no "Download All" button any more. It's just possible to download single files.
Signed out useres aren't able to download Shortcut-files. Just original files by clicking onto "Download"
Do you have an idea how to fix problems 1) and 2) for signed out users?
As a workaround for 1):
Create a folder inside of the main shared folder and mive all files to the nested folder.
When the user opens the main folder he can download with one click the nested folder and all contained files:
As for 2)
The shortcuts are no files but just links to files - if the original files are not shared with the permission Anyone on the internet with this link can view - then users who are not signed in cannot access those files.
You need to share the original files accordingly, in this case the user will be able to open the shortcut and then go on File->Download.
Arguably it makes more sense to directly move the original file into the shared folder instead of using shortcuts.

How can I bookmark references to local files in my Mac app (written in Swiftui)? I want the user to be able to choose files (these are text or spreadsheet files) using NSOpenPanel, store the resulting URLs and display them so when you click on the description, the corresponding app will open them.
The process is very easy with weblinks but I have not had any luck using local path URLs.
I apologize upfront for butchering the verbiage. Here is what I am trying to figure out.
I work with projects that currently use windows folders to store project files (500-1000) per project. The current interaction with a project is clicking through folders and opening individual files. There are also a lot of macros already in use in the various excel workbooks.
I would like to create a desktop "application" that stores files but also runs script, basically cleaning up the project interface and turning the project folder structure into a single desktop "object".
The "application" would open an interface (such as a vba user form) when double-clicked.
The "application" would contain the project files (excel, word, pdf, etc.)
The interface would be used to navigate through the contained files and update the various files in the "application" with user input data.
The "application" could be "cracked open" to see the files inside in windows explorer (similar to how .exe can be changed to .zip)
I've not been able to find anything that matches what I'm looking for so any that points me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running a Windows Server 2016 with folder shares. On one of the shares I have the folder Customers, containing one folder per customer. On another share I have a folder called Archive. In this folder I have one folder per customer archive, sharing the same name.
What I'd like is to create a shortcut in each customer folder linking to the customer archive folder:
Customer A > Archive\Customer A
Customer B > Archive\Customer B
It's easy to do this manually - just create a shortcut pointing to the archive folder, but since I have close to 1000 folders, I'd like to do this automatically somehow.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?

When I create an project of OS X normally, and then build it. When I click "Show Package Contents" on the target app, in its ./Contents/Resources directory, all resources (nib files, image files, sound files, etc) are put together.
Now there are several questions:
<1> Can I hide my nib files from user to keep the completeness of it?
<2> This may similar with the first one: can I package other resource files or encrypted them in on or several target file so that user could not modify them? Just like Windows applications do?
<3> Can I organize my resources by directory in target package content? For example, if I show the package content of Firefox, all files are organized pretty.
1) .nib files are readonly by default in XCode 4, the user cannot view or edit them.
2) Binary encryption can be done perhaps adopting from iOS to osx: Executable encryption check anti piracy measure
3) Organization can be done via drag and drop of folders: Create your folder in the filesystem, then drag it to the resource folder in XCode. In the following dialog select create folder reference for any added folder. The folder should be blue. This folder is copied to your bundle with its contents.
I added a folder to my project in XCode and called it Themes, which will be used to store themes for my iPad app. Under that I have Red,Blue, and so forth.
They show up in XCode. But when I look at the physical folder, there is no Themes directory (and obviously anything under it).
Why not? Where did it go? How can I store images (which may have same names) under different paths (themes)?
Thanks in advance
XCode does not create "folder", it creates "groups". Groups are logical organization of your files, independent of the file system organization underneath it
If you want to actually have a folder, easiest way would be to create one on the file system first (through Finder), and then drag it to XCode's project navigator. When a confirmation window pops up, leave the default settings ("Copy items into destination" and "Create groups for any added folders")
This will import the folder and all the files in it, however it will not auto-import newly added files to the folder after this (you'd have to manually add them).
If you do want to auto-import newly added files from the file system's folder to this group in XCode, instead of using "Create groups for any added folders", change to "Create folder references to any added folders"
