Has access to the Files changed?

[Todd A Ferguson]

I can’t seem to access that information any longer...

Best,
Todd

Seems like Google / Chrome are now limiting access, requires permission to open a given file.

Darel or Mike might need to tweak this or give us direction . . .

[Mike Trent]

I'll check with Darel to see about direct access to the files. There is not an issue with the search function from form this board.

Still no

Chris is correct. Stupid Google (who now owns Blogger) changed the access permissions to Google Drive. Almost all of the files reside on my own personal Google Drive. I believe you must now have a Google account to view them. You might then have to also request access and I will get an email to notify me that I need to give permission. Most of Rick Steeles files resided on his own personal Google Drive. When he deleted his Google Drive a while back, that was the end of those links.
There are some exciting changes coming to the blog soon. How the files are stored and accessed will have to be addressed as well.

I did???? if you say so Darel...

Sent you an email to refresh your memory Rick

Thanks for the links status Chris. Your list is partly correct. The ones that come up as blocked are the ones on my Google Drive that I must now approve individual requests to view. The ones that say "Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist" still try to link to Rick's old Google Drive.
Rick had sent me most of those replacement files back when this happened in 2019. I only got around to hosting a few of them but not all. Until these are put back up again, if there is something you need please contact me directly and I'll send it.

FWIW, here is the message I now get from Google when someone wants to view a file on My Drive:

[e-mail] is requesting access to a folder via an old link, which is no longer valid due to a security update. Share the folder with this person directly.
