Uploading File to Google Drive using HTML and Google Apps Script

This is a simple sample script for uploading a file using the file input tag of HTML. As the important point, the file is sent as the byte array for using Google Apps Script. By this, at Google Apps Script side, the byte array can be converted to a blob using a simple script.

HTML & Javascript

<input id="file" type="file" onchange="saveFile(this)" />
<script>
  function saveFile(f) {
    const file = f.files[0];
    const fr = new FileReader();
    fr.onload = function(e) {
      const obj = {
        filename: file.name,
        mimeType: file.type,
        bytes: [...new Int8Array(e.target.result)]
      };
      google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(e => console.log(e)).saveFile(obj);
    };
    fr.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
  }
</script>

Google Apps Script

function saveFile(e) {
  var blob = Utilities.newBlob(e.bytes, e.mimeType, e.filename);
  DriveApp.createFile(blob);
  return "Done.";
}

Thank you!

Thank you! How can I return the FileUrl to use in a inputbox in the html file?

var file = DriveApp.createFile(blob);
return file.getUrl();

Hello!

It's possible to return the obj instead of using a google.script.run?

Here is my issue:

I need to get the values of a series of inputs, including two inputs that are of the type input file.
Then I need to send all those values as params to a google.script.run function.

In other words, before send the object to the server side, I need to capture other values, including two files.
