Consider attaching additional resources like Drive folders to puzzles #1369

From a user in Discord post-Hunt:

Is there some way to integrate a google drive folder into the puzzle sheets, for puzzles where collecting piles of images (like the scavenger hunt) or other not-linear kinds of data would be useful?

I guess we could potentially try creating child folders underneath the Hunt root folder for each puzzle, and provide a link to the folder on the puzzle page? I'm not sure exactly how we'd want to manage the sharing controls, since we'd probably want to allow users to write new objects into the folder, we don't want to let end users clobber the sheet itself, so these feel like they'd still need to be managed orthogonally.

We certainly wouldn't want to put the document into the folder, but I think if we put the folder and the document at the same level, things would mostly work correctly. We'd have a hunt folder-level commenter permission that allowed us to track activity (and potentially prevent the user from being anonymous, although I don't think that's a thing with drive folders) without giving users the ability to move/edit the folder itself, and a "anyone with the link can edit" permission on the folder that allowed them to add/remove/organize files.

(Another thing to consider: if we're likely to look at #678 any time soon, then potentially we could view a folder as an additional type of document that we could attach to a puzzle)

+1 to this having a lot of similarity to multi-doc (although admittedly I have a lot of hesitation around how to do #678 well without information getting lost)
