Hello! I like very much that Appsheets can connect to various data sources, especially with that of Google Sheet.

I have used App Maker to connect to a data table residing in Google Drive before, but this option was deprecated soon enough, and had to move to Cloud SQL.

I’d appreciate any feedback from Appsheets, and others. Thanks!
