Failed on uploading

slides from Google Drive

Uploading files from cloud

SlideShare offers a

function to upload files

from cloud via

FilePicker.io.

Picking a slide in Google Drive

This is a slide what I want to

upload to SlideShare. It is a native

slide file of Google Slide, not an

uploaded pptx.

FilePicker shows

the thumbnail

correctly.

Conversion failed

SlideShare failed to accept a file of Google Slides.

I'm wondering that transferred blob is not pptx but

something native byte stream of Google Slides. I

hope it could be converted automatically to pptx

and then be converted to SlideShare format.

Sending pptx to myself via email

Google Slides can send pptx by email.

Choosing "pptx"

<<< my email address here >>>

Picking a message in Gmail

This is an email message that I

attached a pptx from Google

Slides. Some non-ascii strings are

not decoded but I don't care.

Uploading attached file

FilePicker extracts an attached pptx file.

Succeeded in the conversion

SlideShare accepts the attached pptx.

Non-ascii subject remains

URL encoded. I don' care.

Conclusions

❖What I need is➢ conversion from a slide of native Google Slides format

➢ URL decoding as appropriate

➢ reuploading from cloud

➢ uploading by sending an email to a unique submission

address

■ I can't find my "unique email ID" as announced at

the official blog in 2007.
