uploader can be created in Google Apps Script which can be developed
further into a powerful & specific Cloud System.

Uploader Permission
The permissions of the Apps Script Gadget can be set as follows:
- Private
- Private Domain - Google Apps
- Public - Signed-in Google Users
- Public allowing Anonymous Users
The upload of files should be restricted by a simple pin / Capcha system to prevent malicious robot activity.
The Google Apps Script Gadget can be embedded from the Insert Menu.
Publishing Configurations
An
Uploader is harder to debug than other Business or cloud systems so
creating a 'Blob' file to test is important. The following is a generic
file for testing with a number to make it unique.
var rand = Math.random()*100000000000000000;
var Blob = Utilities.newBlob("Here is some data", "application/pdf", "FileUpload"+rand+".pdf");
Duplicate file uploads are given a assigned number. to overwrite a file you need find that specific filename to overwrite.
