I am trying to publish a Google spreadsheet as an RSS feed using Google Chrome. When I go to File → Publish to web and the go to Get a link to the published data, the Atom/RSS feed is not displayed.
When I tried to use my personal gmail account, this feature is visible but when I use the business one it does not work. Also please note that I am the admin of the account so I don't think it is an issue of rights.
Can you tell me how to publish it as an Atom/RSS feed, please?
Chrome does not have built-in support for RSS feeds by default, but google have developed an extension. You can add this one:

I am using Google Sheets API and reading information from one of my Google Sheets on my website. I hosted my website and when other users launch the website they are not able to see info pulled from Google Sheets when I launch the website I am able to see the information. Why is Google Sheets API info getting pulled only for me and not globally?
So I tried opening the webpage in incognito mode and I'm still not able to see the info.
Your app won't work for other users and for you in incognito mode because you're not authenticated with Google. You need to setup oauth2 as explained here:

I have an application in Podio registering people how whats my service. I want to export this to a Google Spreadsheet automatically without Zapier or paid services like that. How can I do this?
Please, speak in a "for dummies" way hahahaha
There is an export to excel option there in app, you can generate excel and with your own code you can upload to google spread sheet.
If can try octoblu, instead of Zappier, since its free
Is it possible to tell if a URL links to Google Sheets, Google Docs, or another Google app from the sharable link?
The app I am working on allows users to share links, but Safari on iOS devices doesn't seem to handle these links very well. To help ease our users pain, we would like to directly open the link in Sheets, Docs, or whatever other Google app works best, should it already be installed. I have been able to accomplish this by editing the link provided, replacing:
https://
with:
googledocs://
or:
googlesheets://
However, based on the sharable links, it's hard to tell if the link is a Google Doc, Google Sheet, or something else all together. I originally thought Google Sheets used sheets.google.com, but after testing out this change, I realized both Sheets and Docs use docs.google.com for their sharable links. If the wrong app is opened, Google Sheets or Docs will throw an error saying it cannot open the file.
Is there a simple way to make this distinction and ensure the appropriate Google app opens for any given sharable link?
Definitely not from the shareable link. The shareable link is basically just a redirect to the actual document. It's a hash that's generated independently from the original document that is intentionally obfuscated to prevent malicious parties from guessing them.
The only way to know what's on the other side of the link is to visit it or use the Google Drive API to query the document for info.
This may be a dumb questions, but I haven't found an answer after lots of searching. I need to do two things, I need to allow my app to login to google, then save a file the users google drive.
I've found some steps on how to connect to google drive, but either its outdated or I don't have the correct libraries because it fails to compile: https://www.codenameone.com/google-login.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
For the login part there are good instructions in this blog post
Another sample of code to login to Google in this demo
You'll need to set the scope of the OAuth2 login to the appropriate Google Drive Scope
For saving files to drive, you should use ConnectionRequest to create the HTTP requests directly to their REST API.
Check the Integrating Google Sign-In into your web app. There's even an video guide explaining the concept.
There's a quick Save to Drive which enables your web site to allow users to save files to their Drive account from an arbitrary URL via their browser. If that's not sufficient enough, you can always check the Uploading Files where you can upload file data by creating or updating a File resource.
I have a mobile web app/site and I would like the users to upload a word document to our site.
As safari on the iPhone is not able to upload files what are the alternatives?
I have seen http://code.google.com/p/iphone-photo-picker/ however this is not photograph.
Is it documented anywhere that the Dropbox API, iCloud API or another API would allow selection a file from a user to copy to our servers?
Alternately is there another way for our iPhone users using safari?
No, iPhone does not offer input type file on it's browser (except for images or videos).
What i do is, have users to send file(s) via email to site and download it programmatically on the server side and assign it to user's account either according to email address or some sort of password in the email.
Investigation has shown that the drop box API for the user so select a via on the webpage using OAuth could be an option in the future.
However the dropbox api documentation at the time of writing says:
Web applications using the Dropbox API are currently not officially
supported.
iCloud API is in beta and only available to members of the iOS and Mac Developer Programs so I am unable to review it's possibilities.
Update: I have now found this site: http://filepicker.io that handles uploads from facebook and dropbox.
