Use a Google Drive folder as a board — board

Pin data to a folder in Google Drive using the googledrive package.

Usage

board_gdrive(path, versioned = TRUE, cache = NULL)

Arguments

path: Path to existing directory on Google Drive to store pins. Can be given as an actual path like "path/to/folder" (character), a file id or URL marked with googledrive::as_id(), or a googledrive::dribble.
versioned: Should this board be registered with support for versions?
cache: Cache path. Every board requires a local cache to avoid downloading files multiple times. The default stores in a standard cache location for your operating system, but you can override if needed.

Details

The functions in pins do not create a new Google Drive folder. You can create a new folder from R with googledrive::drive_mkdir(), and then set the sharing for your folder with googledrive::drive_share().
If you have problems with authentication to Google Drive, learn more at googledrive::drive_auth().
board_gdrive() is powered by the googledrive package, which is a suggested dependency of pins (not required for pins in general). If you run into errors when deploying content to a server like https://www.shinyapps.io or Connect, add requireNamespace("googledrive") to your app or document for automatic dependency discovery.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
board <- board_gdrive("folder-for-my-pins")
board %>% pin_write(1:10, "great-integers", type = "json")
board %>% pin_read("great-integers")
} # }
