Making Files and Resource Folders Available
Right now, I share a Google Drive folder that has hundreds of downloadable resources for my students. I want to incorporate those files into a community and get rid of the Google Drive. Is it possible to do something like this with FluentCommunity?
I definitely need the resources tab... And I hope the team will add it

I think it's close...doesn't look like I can create folders and subfolders. I have about 20 folders in the main Google Drive Directory, and then within each root folder are subfolders with pdfs, spreadsheets, etc. I am hoping to avoid a post with 100 links to each file and it be more like navigating a folder system. Any other ideas? I will play with this as well...
Mark Palmer at that point, keep the Google drive to be honest. You can share the link as a space link or a side menu link, but navigating a Google drive folder is always going to be smoother than anything in Wordpress.
When the theme support feature is released by the fluent team, something like this might work for you: https://medium.com/@thesumitsingh/how-to-embed-google-drive-folder-files-with-1-line-of-code-e445af55d8fd
Stuart McKelvie Ah, that would be perfect if I could use something like that within FluentCommunity...do you know if this is on their roadmap? I'm going to need a work-around till then, but I am trying to avoid them going directly to the Google Drive and have it within the community which would be one of the "value adds" to joining.
Mark Palmer Yep, it's under Planned and the Fluent team has said they're already working on it (it's a regularly requested feature here in the community as it will let us take parts of the community into our normal WordPress site which lets us create pages that work with any other plugins we need) - https://community.wpmanageninja.com/fluentcommunity-roadmp/#/idea/220/
