PLEASE help me on the below issue:
Calling https://drive.google.com file from React app redirect to netlify site URL.
my proxy works fine on local machine. I am using http-proxy-middleware - npm.
Hi @panchalnv and welcome to our community!
You wouldn’t be able to use that on Netlify - we don’t run any code at browse time unless you’re using a Function
Would you take a look at this site that explains our hosting philosophy? I think it’ll explain better than I can: https://jamstack.org
@fool - Thank you for your prompt reply
I created a Netlify function which download my file from Google drive. I can only download the file to tmp/xxx.pdf location. But then I would like to read this file to my react application which is not available. How can I achieve this? Any suggestion.
The function is deployed entirely separately from your app. Local storage for a function is thrown away as soon as the function exits.
You’d need to find a service that supports saving files to a more permanent location, and then your app would need to read from that data source.
Netlify does not have database hosting, so you’ll need a separate service for that.
