Play around with it for ten minutes, and I guarantee that most of your questions will be answered .

Where is the "gap`s generator" exactly? Link shows me preview low level gif-pictures of excel pages etc. but not a downloadable program.
What do you mean with "Access our google drive folder"? Do we have to create a google-account to get this data?

I think you have to click the "Open in drive" option in the top right corner, and then go from there. It's a little fiddly but gets the job done.

You shouldn't need a google account to download the files. Click on the U-boat positions project folder and then on the file called "U-boat Coordinates v1." There should be an option to download it in the lower righthand corner.

The only thing you would need a google account for would be to upload completed patrol data at the very end of the process. I'm trying to figure out a work-around for this because I don't want to require people to create an account if they don't have one/don't want one.

I believe you can add him to editors of the file with a different e-mail account or send him a link that will allow him to edit a file.

Not sure 100% though, as my work blocks actual gmail e-mail...

I think I've set the privacy level so that anyone with the link can edit it. They will simply show up as "anonymous." If it's not working, or if we want more security, I can invite people individually.

@Sartoris - I did a spot-check of the patrol you uploaded yesterday. Looks good to me

@LemonA - Have you been able to successfully download the generator? Do you have any interest in helping out with the project?

@V13dweller - I believe you indicated you would be interested in helping. Are you still able/willing?

If you look at the bottom of your browser when you click on that "low level gif-pictures..." as you call them, you will see an option to download.
