We have been seeing failure in uploading MS powerpoint file larger than 100MB to Google slide.
We are using insert_file API https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v2/manage-uploads
The same ppt file would fail importing into google slide directly via google doc which it error out eventually with “server rejected“. Separately, for exporting google slide to ppt, we also encounter random failure for file larger than 100mb. We think these are same issue mentioned in this doc https://gsuitetips.com/tips/docs/google-docs-size-limitations/#:~:text=Presentations%20created%20in%20Google%20Slides,presentations%20converted%20to%20Google%20Slides. There is 100MB limit for slide.
Is there a solution or plan for a solution from google to this issue?
100MB is not that large. We are software provider for content management. User often has slides larger than that. The import/export is needed for customer to edit the slide because we are integrated with Google Drive as a source provider of content.
Thank you!
According to an official documentation from Files you can store in Google Drive, it's also stated that 100 MB is the maximum size for presentations converted to Google Slides.
As for any plans or solutions, I've tried checking if there are similar feature ideas that have already been requested, but unfortunately I haven't found any related requests being worked on. I'd suggest you check the Missing features on Google Slides API.

I have this timeline from a newspaper produced by my Native American tribe. I was trying to use AWS Textract to produce some kind of table from this. AWS Textract does not recognize any tables in this. So I don't think that will work (perhaps more can happen there if I pay, but it doesn't say so).
Ultimately, I am trying to sift through all the archived newspapers and download all the timelines for all of our election cycles (both "general" and "special advisory") to find number of days between each item in timeline.
Since this is all in the public domain, I see no reason I can't paste a picture of the table here. I will include the download URL for the document as well.
Download URL: Download
I started off by using Foxit Reader on individual documents to find the timelines on Windows.
Then I used a tool 'ocrmypdf' on ubuntu to ensure all these documents are searchable (ocrmypdf --skip-text Notice_of_Special_Election_2023.pdf.pdf ./output/Notice_of_Special_Election_2023.pdf).
Then I just so happened to see an ad for AWS Textract this morning in my Google Newsfeed. Saw how powerful it is. But when I tried it, it didn't actually find these human-readable timelines.
I'm hopefully wondering if any ML tools or even other solutions exist for this type of problem.
I am namely trying to keep my tech knack up to par. I was sick the last two years and this is a fun problem to tackle that I think is pretty fringe.
I am hardly finding a way to connect or live-import data from Google Sheet in Photoshop.
There are several way to edit or replace some text layers, or even upload the PSD file into online real time editors, or using Adobe API, but is not exactly what I am looking for or at least I am struggling with.
This is the scenario:
here my Photoshop Artboard
and here my Google Sheet
what I want to do is to connect each layer from artboards' Photoshop with a defined cell/position in Google Sheet in order to get a live update when sorting or updating those cells. The cells and columns could be more than 10.000 in what I want to do.
And perhaps.. the struggling things is that I want to keep this flow in the Adobe/Photoshop application.
Do you have anything that I need to check or have knowledge to clearify this situation?
Many thanks!
Yes, in principle...
Yes, it's possible to load in a .CSV into photoshop and modify layer data, such as text.
Doing it live? This post has more info.
"connect each layer from artboards' Photoshop with a defined
cell/position"
Have you created a Photoshop document with 10,000 layers? You haven't really explained what you will be doing with the Google Sheet, so I can't help you further.
Try a prototype with smaller data sizes first - see if you can get that to work.
I'm still getting into google spreadsheets, recently understood how to format a .txt to be able to use =ImportData properly thanks to Tanaike's assitance, now tackling a -slightly- more challenging task.
Goal:
Automatically extracting specific data from .pdf files hosted inside of a google drive folder and arranging the information into specific cells
Challenges:
Being able to decode the blobs of information, as just the raw data obtained with =ImportData is useless
Truly learning how to use google-apps-script for something useful (that's on my own)
Instructing a single extraction of information rather than constant online status as with =ImportData
[Second Priority] Stop Depending on an add-on (Drive Direct Links) to get the URL of the files
To my understanding, I'll need to do some parsing. I know .pdf is not always straight forward, all the files will come from the same place and have the exact same format, so understanding how to do it once should be enough.
I already know how to get the real/permanent link to the files automatically and how to arrange information segregated into cells using =Index, =Extract and others.
Hope I'm being clear enough. Thanks a lot in advance.

So I was following the example of connecting to the YouTube Analytics API that can be found by clicking here.
When I run the above code I get the 52 views, however when I go to the page directly I see these numbers.
Why is it that I see such a large number when I go to the page directly but in the API its much smaller? Did YouTube Analytics start collecting data after a certain date?
Any help would be much appreciated!
I had the very same question. After a lot of research, finally I found the answer. According staff from Google, the views are measured from youtube page, where they can monetize your content, this is due a lot of advertisers use youtube to host videos and use them on ads on the hope to increase the views to show the "success" of the video on their campaigns, however this is not that smart since Google controls that number to prevent exactly that, would be too easy simply embed your video on a lot of pages and expect that to be counted to views without provide Google any chance to get money (while use their bandwidth and resources) :-/
I'd like to be able to edit any kind of Google docs using the API from Google App Engine.
My goal is to lose as little information as possible when editing the document. The edits are fairly simple like replacing some words.
Document
To edit them, I'm doing an export in HTML and importing it again. But we are loosing some information like notes. There is also an issue with the title, the size before each title increase at every new update, so I have to reset some css. Is there is a better way of editing docs ?
Spreadsheet
There is the spreadsheet API, so I think I'm covered.
Presentation
I did not find a format that I could export and import again. The only one seems to be powerpoint. But powerpoint files cannot be easily edited.
Drawing
I did not find a format that can be both exported and imported. I tried with SVG, but svg cannot be imported back.
Document
PDF offers you the best fidelity in and out of Google Docs, without the hassle of proprietary or complicated formats like MS Word files.
Spreadsheet
Only proprietary or complicated formats guarantee fidelity here of things like cell color. The Spreadsheets API only allows data to be updated, but not formatting.
Presentation
You are correct, PPTX is the only format that can go both in and out of Google Presentations.
Drawing
You are correct, there is no import format that can go both in and out of Google Drawings.
