Sync to Google drive works manually but not when scheduled

[ercbul]

Hi all,

I created a Synchronise / Mirror task to back up a drive on my PC to my Google Drive. Everything works fine if I trigger the job manually but if I run it as a scheduled task, it hangs on:

'searching for folder "gdrive:\<myemail>\<gdrivefoldername>"...

Do I need to add the Google Drive authentication details anywhere for the scheduled task?

By default, scheduled tasks get run as the System user.
You should run your scheduled task under the same user credentials as when run manually.
Using "Create Task" instead of "Create basic Task" allows you to specify which user credentials to use.

Brilliant that worked a treat - thank you
