Hi, I’m Daniel Morales from Panama and I’m fourteen years old.

I have a question that for the experts will be easy to answer… Does the user upload any file to the app using a form using the Share link in Google Drive… Do you consume storage on Glide?

Thanks for reading.

You can insert it as a link using text entry. It won’t be counted towards your storage.
