Q: Hello, I noticed that you allow data storage on a variety of backends.

Can this be set up so the user logs in with a google account, and data they input is stored directly in their own google drive (as opposed to a shared server)? This is for a feature I'd like to build that I think users would prefer to know they own their data and it's not being stored on any 3rd party server.

A: Hey constantina3,

That's a great usecase! so since we offer the REST API option, you can connect your app to Google Drive API to allow users to upload anything on it. The only thing missing for now is the option to encode files to send them with the HTTP requests. So far you can perform requests with text content but not with files. But that's for sure on our list and we will release a feature to allow that soon (within the next weeks since it's highly important).

For now you can build the full app, but just do a small modification on the code for the POST request to enable uploading files to HTTP requests (if you know how to write code, otherwise just give us a small time and we will have it for you ;)

I hope this was helpful. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out at [email protected] or using our community link https://community.nowa.dev. We are always happy to help 🧡

Also would love it if you could support us by giving us a review if you liked Nowa.

Hi, Can you share an update on this please . I also had a similar use case , hence in this scenario will I be able to restrict each user to ensure they are able to access their own data from their respective google sheet ? Biy the app backend should be doing some analytics and provide them updates periodically
