vuo.file.exist gives a wrong result

Workaround: Yes, but less stable. Would like to use https://www.google.com/ to determine if the app can access the internet.

Loading a file increases the risk of malfunctions because a file can be deleted

Joost,

Yes, the File Exists node only supports local files/folders. If you are interested in whether or not you app can access the internet, we could add a new node that checks that. If that's of interest to you, please create a feature request so we can find out if others in the community are also interested.
