Try again the upload. HTTP 5xx glitches stemming from stale AAAA or CNAME records referencing overloaded edge POPs disappear within 30 s. If the error stays, run nslookup www.googleapis.com and check the answer comes from 8.8.8.8 and hands back a Google 172.217.x.x address; any 169.254.x.x entry means the system cache is still dirty—re-run the clear.
Use the "Pause & Redirect" Script When They Say the Budget Is Fixed Reply with one sentence: "Roger–$4 k ceiling holds, let’s adjust deliverables."

Pinpoint the Exact Profit Margin Your Client Makes From Your Work Request the previous trio invoices your client billed to their customer for projects containing your deliverables. Divide the net amount they billed by the sum they paid you; the result shows the gross markup.

Lock column widths to 160 px for Task, 110 px for Owner, 90 px for Due, 110 px for Status, 60 px for %, and auto-resize for Notes. On mobile, activate View >Freeze >1 row so headings stick while scrolling.

All ways skip the toolbar, comments pane, and speaker-notes icon–viewers see just the slide canvas.
For color cues, apply conditional formatting: Format >Conditional formatting >Custom formula =C:C="Done" → #0e8a0e; =C:C="Blocked" → #d32f2f; =C:C="Active" → amber fill. Restrict range to C2:C100 to keep speed 0.2 s on 500-row sheets.

Open the cloud folder, press Shift + click to highlight up to 500 images without exceeding the 15 GB quota. Hit the three-dot menu → Download; while the ZIP builds, cancel it–this action coaxes the system to index every file, slashing future load time by 30 %. Re-label the container YYYY-MM-DD_Event; the lexicographic order mirrors on mobile, so viewers swipe chronologically. Ctrl-click the container → Share → toggle Notify people off to block mass email spam. Paste the modified /preview URL into Google Drive Direct Link Generator; the service auto-shortens it and appends QR-code output for printed invites. Pin the set: File → Version history → Name current version; even if someone copies the folder, the original sequence stays intact. Time-bomb trick: append &usp=sharing_e + a Unix timestamp in seconds; after the chosen date the link redirects to a 404, no script required.
Data saver: keep each shot under 1600 px on the long edge; the built-in viewer streams a 1280 px proxy, trimming data use from 12 MB to 800 KB per image without visible quality loss on phones.
Re-grant the Drive API scope in Credential Manager to bring back offline mode Kill the browser completely (check Ctrl-Shift-Esc for any ghost processes).
