Scan files in a Google Drive folder via an HTML form

Question

I would like some help checking how many files are inside a Google Drive folder before allowing a form submission.

I have this form here:

I would like that when the Submit button is clicked, a function checks how many files exist in a child folder of the folder where this GAS file is.

The HTML form GAS is linked to this worksheet here:

After checking how many files there are in the _ folder I would like to apply the following if/else statements:

If the _ folder has more than 3 files, display a confirmation pop-up , if the answer is Yes , create any file in the _ folder, if the answer is No , just don't allow the form submission.

If the _ folder contains 4 or more files, display an error message and disallow form submission.

The code of this HTML form can be seen here, accessing the spreadsheet's GAS:

Partial Solution:

I made some changes on the getLimitFolder() function to return the count of the files inside the _ folder.

function getLimitFolder(){
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var pastapai = DriveApp.getFileById(ss.getId()).getParents();
  var files = [];
  Logger.log(pastapai);
  //var limitfolder = pastapai.next().getFoldersByName("_").next().getId();
  var limitfolder = pastapai.next().getFoldersByName("_").next().getFiles();
  while(limitfolder.hasNext()){
    var file = limitfolder.next();
    files.push([file.getId()]);
  }
  console.log(files.length);
  return files.length;
}

Inside the folder _ :

From here, since the function can now return the count of files within the _ folder, you may need to create a new modal window on your HTML file to display the message first and create a separate function to determine the conditions for your if else statement.
