[Forge VTT] Assistant/Non-Owner GM setup

[Galphanore]

I use The Forge and I am the one with the Foundry license. One of my friends is running a game on my license on the same forge hosted instance. So it is my account, but I am set as a player and he is set as the GM. The module works perfectly for me but the "Drag and Drop" portion of the module does nothing for him. He can drag the image from the browser, but it will not "Drop" onto the game canvas or onto an actor in the actor's tab. This is true regardless of whether he's using locally hosted image files or cloud images. He tried this both on Firefox and on Chrome. Same behavior either way.

Example of him trying to drag and drop, showing he can drag and drop other things (like actors to the game canvas) but nothing from FA Token Browser.

This is very much WIP workflow at this time (that I plan on smoothing out later), but it should still work with a little bit of a setup.

Since module is downloading & uploading tokens to storage, this workflow requires owner of the game to grant read & write access to their storage for the other GM.

You can go to your Forge account settings > API Key Manager > Generate New API Key

Make sure you check both Read and Write permissions - Name and Expiration up to you.

This creates a key for you which has a "Share URL" button, you share that with your friend, which grants them access to your forge storage.

Then he should go into the game.

1. Open the module once first (just open, dont try dragging tokens, it wont work) - This loads in the available storage options he has.
2. Go to FA Token Browser module settings, and under the "Preferred Forge Storage Bucket" he should see a "Shared Folder:" option.
3. Save settings.
4. Close and reopen the Token Browser app. Try dragging in couple of tokens. (first one might still fial, but then it should work)

(side note, in your gif you are trying to drag onto an actor sheet, which is not supported, only dragging on canvas and on the actor in the actors tab)

Yep! That did it. Thanks!! Love the module.

As to the side note, he was just making sure to show it wasn't working for dragging anything anywhere.
