So you have this awesome idea for a Google Workspace Add-on (GWAO), but you need to be able to select Google Drive files and folders as a part of your process. … Ideally, you would want a built-in File Picker class that would select the files and folders from the directories you need.

Provide the name of the Shared drive on each row in column A.

Ensure you include at least one Manager – the script will check for this – so as to prevent creating a Shared drive that you are then unable to access.
On the ‘Config’ sheet provide the column numbers – leave the default values unless you change the structure of the ‘Data’ sheet and move columns around.
The ‘Log’ sheet should help to troubleshoot any errors you experience, but there will also be a popup message should the script fail at some point.
