I want a user to share a URL to a Google Doc. When another user follows the link, they must make a copy and that copy is available in a shared folder. Are their parameters I can add to the URL to do this?
The users are students and teachers. Users share the same Google Workspace domain. The students have major digital literacy gaps so any steps I can remove to sharing to their teachers is significant.
Given the url of your google docs file, you need to replace edit with copy and use ©Destination=[Drive_FolderID] (optional) to redirect the copied file to a specific folder.
As for the share to a shared folder, I can't find any parameter for it. The copyDestination might still work in your case.
From:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/[Doc_FileID]/edit?resourcekey=[Resource_Key]
To:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/[Doc_FileID]/copy?resourcekey=[Resource_Key]©Destination=[Drive_FolderID]
After confirming to "Make a copy", it opens the copied file and will show on the Drive folder.

I am trying to reorganize the microsoft sharepoint of my team, into thematic folders, but I'd like to keep the links to the original files after moving them. Do you know if it's possible?
Thank you!
Do you mean file sharing link? If true, please check this article:
When you move the files within site (inside of a library or between libraries on the same site), all the previously shared links to those files will still keep working!
When you move the files to a totally different site,remember to check the Keep sharing with the same people box:
In this way, the previously shared link will still work for the recipient.
Limitations
The ability to keep sharing links is only available for files, not
folders
When a shared folder is moved to another site, the link will stop
working. The recipient will receive This link has been removed
message.
Is there any way for Kentico Media Library application to search the sub folders of selected folder?
Files copied from FTP need to be "imported" into Kentico. If they were separated by folders/sub folders, you have to go to every single folder and "import" that folder's files.
I should not have to use Kentico API to do this simple task.
I am afraid but the search is looking into the current folder only. You can send a request to productmanagement#kentico.com as a feature request.
For the import - I see your point but there could be also the opposite need - what if someone wants to import only certain files from certain folder(s). It is the same as if you would upload the files through the UI - you need to do it per folder. But I hear what you are saying maybe there could be some setting for this. Again, you can send the feature request directly to the product managers.
I have created templates for a company's website that I am working on. I have three different folder each folder containing different styles. I am trying to find a tool where I can put the files on, and then send a link or whatever to my client so that he can see the templates that I have created. Is there any tool out there where I can do this..? Besides a flashdrive...
Try Dropbox. You can either create a folder and "share" it, or just send a link via email to the folder to the client.
Can you copy a Composite C1 website? I would like to create a copy of an existing website as a new website.
I start by creating Site A. Then I want to copy it and create Site B.
For example: copy the pages, functions, data, content, layouts, css from website A to website B. The only difference between the two would be the name.
It would infringe copywrites and may get you sued, but yes, its possible with a scraper, which basicly get all of the site, and download it to you, such things are used by google and search engines for a cache of sites.
Some exaples:

or just google "web scrapers"
If you own the site however, and have access to the ftp, just simply copy the files to a folder called /b and it can become www.a.com/b or you can set up an addon domain to point to /b and make the addon domain.... say www.b.com
The answer to your question "can you copy a website?"
Is Yes....you can.
Provided you have access to all the files/folders, its no different then copying a bunch of folders on your computer, to another folder.
So if you're using a shared host....and everything is in your public_html folder.
Just put the whole website in one folder, then copy it over to another folder.
And then just simply point your new domain to that folder, through your hosting platform.
The process to do this is different for different hosts, but the actual answer to your question is...
YES....YOU CAN COPY A WEBSITE FROM ONE FOLDER TO ANOTHER
IF you have access to the files on the server you can simply copy it to the other desired location...
But remember you have to update links and other paths (if they are absolute).
If you don't have the access you could maybe use the developer tools like firebug, or using F12 on chrome or IE and copy each file and source code you have by hand. This approach is a little more time consuming than the last one but at least it can be made.
Cheers
As far as I know the easiest way would be use use Internet Explorers save to offline webpage function (if it is still there) - this will copy all the resources of the currently open webpage and recode the HTML to use them, as for an entire website..I dont think it will be easy, for legal reasons.
If it's your own site, sure why not! Who is there to stop you?
But if it's someone elses site, of course you have to worry about copyright and most of the time the website uses server side scripts which are not downloabeable.
You can duplicate a Composite C1 website by copying the entire file structure to a new folder and then update the installation id in the folder ~/App_Data/Composite/Configuration/InstallationInformation.xml (put in a new random GUID). Then point a new IIS site into this new folder.
If your site is using SQL Server as a backend you also need to create a copy of your database, create a new user account with dbo access for this database and update the connection string in ~/web.config.
If you wish to duplicate an entire page structure inside the existing instance of the CMS and share media files, templates etc. this could be done, but no tooling is available. This would be a coding task.
Copy the the directory(website physical path) where the website is pointing to and paste it somewhere...create a new website and point it to that copied directory....
I have created an google script which go to my mail and fetch attachments and put it into a folder (shared as anyone with link), and share the link to folder with any given email.
But when others open that folder with link it open in google drive viewer(online). Have to open each and every file to download. Is there any way I can let them download whole batch in much more less stressing way?
I have tried out creating a folder (lets say folderchild) inside that folder(folderparent) then put all files in folderchild. But still same problem. Have to open that folderchild and open files in there and download them one by one.
Zipping attachment is not an option for my solution.
Any advices?
Thanks in advance.
They should regress to their own drive, choose the "Shared with Me" option, tick the required folder and use the "More" -> "download" option to download all the content in a zip file
If you share a map via Google drive and send the link via email your link has an url of following format:
https://drive.google.com/a/FOO/folderview?id=BAR&usp=sharing_eid
where FOO is the domainname of your organization and
BAR is the unique id of the folder (similar to i3AV_u1UsLmTa-dOm22I2XXgioDR8)
Change this url to the following
https://drive.google.com/drive/#folders/BAR
Now you can click on the name of the folder and download all files.
Note: this is what works today (Jan. '15) in an GAFE (Google Apps For Education) environment.
There is OPEN IN DRIVE option in upper right corner, (if you are logged in with your google account). It will put a folder of the same name on your google drive. Then you can right click on the folder and select Download option (zip file will be made and downloaded) :)
When they're viewing the folder in their Google Drive, don't they have the option to select it, click the "More" button and pick "Download"?
If not, that seems like a bug on Drive and you should report it in the Drive forum / issue tracker.
Select the file(s) first, I get that option after I select(ed) the files to download ;)
I don't have enough reputation to comment on user906489. His URL works, except in the case when using multiple google accounts and the url should not reference the first account.
In that case just insert u/USERID/ after https://drive.google.com/drive/, so that
https://drive.google.com/drive/#folders/BAR
becomes
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/USERID/#folders/BAR
where, USERID is the number (greater than zero) of your google account.
