Q: Google Drive Folders

So does this cover all Google Drive Folders? For example if we wanted to put an MP3, a short video, and a PDF into a folder we could then have the buyer added to view the folder and download the contents inside?

Q: can onlysheets help me

If I want to sell calculators or trackers made on Google Sheets, can I use onlysheets?
I want the users to still be able to input their date into the sheets.
I'm not quite sure what OnlySheets does. Does it protect the content as well so users cannot copy them, or does it just put the sheets behind a paywall, and the app simply gives a user access to it after making a payment?

A: only sheets simply gives a user access to it after making a payment. Only sheets does not prevent viewers or editors from copying your sheet or content. You can set that off for viewers if you would like, in the share settings of a sheet.

Hello,

Will your software hide the original script code? I have a created a a system but don’t have it as add on , will your software be able to hide the original code and protect it from reselling it? Can I also revoke access if needed when selling via Gumroad?

A: only sheets does not hide code of your spreadsheet.
In order to do that I'd suggest creating a google sheets add-on.

Q: Copy protect?

Does this offer sheet protection of a sheets content, or can a buyer just copy/paste the contents into their own google sheet?

Some sort of demo would be helpful.

A: Only Sheets offers protection of the sheet itself. The contents of the sheet are available to buyers. Those buyers can copy/paste and copy the sheet to their own google drive. Just like purchasing an image or video online.

A: When someone normally sells a sheet, they set their sheet to anyone with the link. What OnlySheets allows you to do, is keep that restricted. OnlySheets will add each new buyer as a viewer to the sheet. Each time someone buys your sheet only they have access to the original.

Yes someone can, and should copy the sheet to their own google drive. But then they can't share the link of the original to anyone else. Well they could but it would be restricted.

A sheet seller usually can keep their own brand protected by updating often, and even making sure their branding is all over sheet not for if people share it, but when they do.

Say one link and only one download allowed per Google (or your) link?

A: Hi, there is a demo free sheet you can see on OnlySheets.bettersheets.co You'll be able to see that you can't access the sheet, then buy the free sheet, and it gives you access. Each individual person buying the sheet gets added so it's hard to show the blocked access, the unlocking, and the new access you gain in a video.

Q: 1.

Can I use this for multiple independent apps GSheets?

2. Would I be able to change a subscription instead of one-time fee?

3. Can I prevent download/copy of the file? Like I give access to a dashboard as a subscription, but don’t want to allow copy or download of it.

4. Would I be able to modify the scrip code? I am wondering how difficult would it be for me to add other payment processors as Paddle or Lemon Squeezy.

5. Do you think I would be able to integrate this with a web app generated with frontly (another AS offer)?

A: Yes you can use OnlySheets with any number of sheets you want to sell or give away. You can also use it for multiple gdrives, one copy of onlysheets for each gdrive. The OnlySheets you use, needs to be the same owner as the Drive you use (so that you have admin ability to give access).
You can charge a subscription yes, the payment method does not matter. Once a customer pays, the OnlySheets adds the customer's email to the sheet access and sends an email.

You can prevent download/copy directly in a google sheet itself. In share settings uncheck that they have the ability to copy/download. OnlySheets does not provide this functionality because it's already in your Google Sheets.

Yes you can modify the script code as you wish. You can add more payment processors if they use Webhooks. Once you buy look at how Zapier is integrated or Stripe, and then let me know if you can't figure it out. Email me anytime and I'm happy to help with Paddle or Lemon Squeezy as long as they have webhooks available. Gumroad uses Gumroad Ping and is fairly straight forward. I give you videos on all of the payment processors Gumroad, Stripe, Zapier.

Q: Hello, This is really cool!

And I'm definitely interested in jumping in! But i have one question: Can't someone with 'View Only' access to the sheet... can't they still download the sheet and/or make a copy of it?

Q: So you put the sheet on gumroad then gumroad is going to charge me - 2.

9% to 9%
+30¢ on each transaction
for each purchase of the sheet

which will be on top of the cost of credit card transaction fees
am I reading that right?

Is there other solutions rather than gumroad to use with this?

A: Gumroad is the payment processor so they don't charge cc transaction fees. It's free to post your product on Gumroad. not sure what the issue is. You'll be charged no matter what. Yes you can sell your products via Stripe as well, but then you'll have to host the files and fulfill the delivery. Stripe fees are 2.9% plus 30 cents.

Sell some products for over $100 and the fees are fine. If you're selling products for tens of thousands of dollars then hire a developer to build out a cart system for the 10%.

In my experience, Gumroad fees have been fine. In the end it's all profit. Less than app store fees. I just wish the product was better, not cheaper.
