Support for Cloud-based Files in Files Widget

Description

I see a need for a centralized file display for my team outside of the files column of a task. We frequently use Google and Dropbox links to collaborate, but they are not currently supported to show up within the Files Widget of a board. Has anyone else encountered this? Are there any known work arounds?

What are you trying to achieve

I would like the Files Widget (or another widget) to support the display of all links; especially to cloud-based software.

Hi @Brenna ,

Welcome to the community! :waving_hand:

From what we’ve seen, the Embed Everything widget works with individual Google Drive file links.

As a possible workaround, you could also try embedding a Google Drive or Dropbox folder link that contains all the related files, so everything stays centralized outside of the Files column. I haven’t personally tested this with folders (only with file links), but it may be worth a try depending on sharing settings.

Hope this helps!
