Show Google Picker in a Google Apps Script in G-Suite Enterprise without access to GCP


Per the documentation (here and here), you need to create an API key in the developer console. We use G-Suite Enterprise and our G-Suite admins have blocked the ability for users to do anything in the developer console.

I have a Sheets bounded GAS project that is deployed as a web-app and set to execute as me. I want to show the Google Picker dialog such that users can upload files and/or select files from THEIR Google Drive.

Is this possible?


Solution

  • Is this possible?

    Answer:

    No, this is not possible. An API key must be created and for this developer console access is required.

    Further steps:

    You need to contact your G Suite admins to allow Developer console access in order to create GCP projects. For security reasons there isn't a way around this and unfortunately there is little that the Stack Overflow community would be able to help you with regarding this.
