Sync file system API in the web - javascript

I have a chrome packaged app which saves files with the chrome.syncFileSystem api.
Now I want to develop a web app and fetch these files from the web. Is there a way to do this.
Thanks.

You can use the Google Drive API to access your Google drive, and you will find the files there. You can discover the location empirically, but, as it is not documented, it could change at any time. Google and others (e.g., Apple) have a habit of moving formerly-easily-visible files into obfuscated places.
To get you started, simply access your Google drive with their UI (web page or Chrome app), and you'll find the synced files. You may have to hunt around a bit with the links on the left of the Google drive web page.

Transfer files between google-drive and one drive

I have more than 10TB of content in my google shared drive I want to copy all that content in my onedrive account. I tried mover.io but it's not working for me. What should I do. Also tried google colab but I couldn't find great code of python
It's been 2nd day and I couldn't find anything that works properly and fast.
I don't want to use any 3rd-party mover like multi-cloud ...
Create a temporary RDP through GitHub action, in that RDP you will get a high-speed internet connection, download the file in it, and upload it to onedrive.
you can also use rabb.it

How to use google API in Apps Scripts on Google Sheet?

I know my question sounds a bit mouthful, so just let me make my point clear: I need to do something like bringing data from Google Sheet to AWS (i.e. Athena), or vice versa.
However, because Google API is in need anyway, I surprisingly found that require() is not even a function in such kind of JS' twin-like language at all. Therefore, how can we use any third-party libraries on it?
Example (github repo):
const {google} = require('googleapis');
You can use Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and most other Google Workspaces APIs in Apps Script by enabling Advanced Services.
Open the Apps Script project.
At the left, click Editor code.
At the left, next to Services, click Add a service add.
Select an advanced Google service and click Add.
Here's an example on how to use the Drive API inside Apps Script.

Control a PPTX file with Javascript offline

This is an odd use-case and I've tried to steer the users away from this, but I have a request to load locally stored PPT files in an HTML environment.
The idea is to view the PPT in an iframe so that I can "decorate" all around it. Users will be creating playlists, of sorts, so I need to add "next" and "previous" presnetation buttons, etc.
I have an online version of this working using the Office webapp link that many other posts have shared, but there is a concern for poor connectivity so they want it to be available offline.
My instinct was to shape this up as a PWA. I can make them use Chrome, so I have the FileSystem API "caching" the PPT files from the online source. However, I have no way to render the saved files!
Because it's offline, I can't use googledocs or continue to MS web office.
I don't know the AppCache feature well enough, but wondered if I can preload all of the docs in an iframe, will it cache those. My thought is that it won't, because the content is on microsoft (or Google's) site.
All users will have a legal copy of PPT on the computer, if that helps at all.
So far I have tried storing the files using the filesystem API in combination with the Chrome offline viewer extension and alternatively the Native Docs extension. The Chrome one will allow me to open a doc, but directly in edit mode. I need to simulate the behavior of a ppsx file, but neither extension works with ppsx files and I don't see documentation for an API that will allow me to "auto-play" the presentations.
Thanks for any ideas!

Google Analytics Instant Tester

Given that it takes around 24 hours for Google Analytics data to update, this makes it hard to see how data rolls up and is displayed within Google Analytics.
Is there some sort of instant tester, or fast turn around application that allows me to quickly set up custom dimensions/metric within my app and see how they appear?
Options for real time analytics:
Google Realtime Analytics - Built into Google Analytics. To use Google Analytics Realtime, login to your google analytics account and select your web property. Then, on the left hand side click Real-Time->Overview.
GoAccess - If you have access to your web server log files this will give you a real-time view of traffic and does not require anything more than a console access. The really nice things about GoAccess is that it does not rely on any 3rd part services and has the ability to run in real-time or generate reports. To use GoAccess, first install it on your server using either the package manager or in a local directory using the official Git. Then, if you are running a standard Apache configuration just run the executable with:
# goaccess -f /var/log/apache2/your-website-access.log -a
If you are running a non-standard Apache log configuration (or another web server entirely), then you have to give GoAccess a description of your log file. This can be done in the ~/.goaccessrc file. Refer to the GoAccess documentation for specific descriptors in generating a string that describes your log file lines.
There are also a host of other SAS options like Clicky, GoSquared, or piwik (which is open source).

How to make a Google Maps API (.js) file a part of a widget for Mobiles

I would like to create a Web App for device. For that I would have some script being stored on device, instead of downloading them all time when I start application. As far as I saw including a GoogleMaps API makes some additional request for javascript files. Is there any way of having all of them taken directly from local store? Or is this always have to refeer to google web address? Thanks for any answers here!
No, you always must load them from the Google site. They offer no way to run Google Maps locally. The GMaps scripts are generated on the fly, based upon (among others, I'm sure) the HTTP_REFERER header of the request. That's how they can bind an API key to a specific website.
