Hi everyone. Is there a way to prevent users from uploading a file directly from Google Drive?
On the form that I'm working on fro a web application, we have a field which requires the users to select a file (PDF, txt, doc, docx, etc.) to be uploaded alongside other details for the user.
If the user selects a file that is located on the device itself, then there's no problem.
However, if the user tries to upload a file from their synced "Google Drive" on their mobile phone (seems to only be happening on Android), then the file cannot be read correctly and thus cannot be sent in the form.
Is there any way to handle such scenarios? Is it even possible to prevent users from uploading directly from google drive for example?
This seems to be a long lived bug in Chromium dating from 2020: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1063576 and seems won't be fixed anytime soon.
