[SOLVED] Google Drive authorization error

[JosephA]

Good morning from the UK and thank you to everybody involved in the development and support of FFS.

I am a novice user, attempting to sync with my Google Drive. When adding my account, my web browser opens accounts.google.com and immediately displays the following:

Access blocked: authentication error.
Missing required parameter: client_id

followed by a link to
https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2

I hope somebody can help, please. More details below if useful:

FFS version 12.0 - x86-64 for Debian - 20/02/23 - from the Debian repository on a freshly installed MX Linux system (Kernel: 6.1.0-17-amd64 [6.1.69-1] arch: x86_64) - Xfce v: 4.18.1

Many thanks,
Joseph

Working on my Windows machine. Can you copy the URL and try it in a different browser or computer?

[JosephA]

Unfortunately not. It redirects to the error page too quickly.

Oh wait... the version from Synaptic is almost a year old. I'm sure if install the latest version I'll be good.

Thanks for the reply.

[JosephA]

Yeah that fixed it.

I wonder why the version in such a major repository is so old.
