Automatic permission to view a Google Drive folder


I'm looking for a way to achieve the following:

Every time a user enters their email address in a Google Form, it is recorded in a Google Sheet.

I need that email address to automatically be given permission to view a folder on my Google Drive. I don't want the folder to be public.

How can I do that?

Hey @TalZe, welcome to the Community!
 

I did some checking and found there’s a topic regarding a Google Drive feature request to allow file sharing preferences to be set for specific email addresses here:

I’ve gone ahead and added your vote to that feature request. That way, we’ll be able to notify you once it’s been added.

To help us to better keep track of user interest in a single place I’m going to be closing this topic. For anyone that also wants their vote added please reach out on the other topic to put in your request. Thanks!
