Thanks, though I am not sure. Where their files are saved for them will be different from where they show up for me when synced with my machine for grading. While option 1 makes thier lives easier, it doesn't solve the issue of me not being able to access and run their code with text file access. I do think the issue comes down to exectuting code saved on Google Drive. It frustrates me that this folder is treated as an external drive. I am at a loss about how to get around this code execution permission issue.
