Is there any we can track which user is uploading through the web view so we don’t need to have the user enter their name or email into the webview?

I was about to answer, but the phrase “uploading files via webview” threw my head into a spin. Can you elaborate on that please? How on earth are you using a webview to upload files?

Glide does not allow more than 1gb file upload, so I thought of using a webview. A website will be embedded in webview in Glide, but I want to be able to the uploader without the user entering their name or email on the website.  
Is this explanatory?

I see. So you want to pass those values from Glide to your embedded website?  
Can your embedded website accept URL query parameters? That would be a the simplest way, if it supports it. So you would have a URL something like `https://myembedded.form.com?name=john&email=jon@doe.com`
