After clicking on "Add Connection" For Google Drive, I get an error
page with this:
======================================
400. That’s an error.

Error: invalid_request

Missing required parameter: client_id
======================================

I have installed 10.11 with flatpak on a debian distro called
MX Linux

Any ideas?

I also had this problem and resolved it by using the tarball from download page.

In researching this error message I came across a discussion of this same issue with another application where a developer mentioned that the keys have to be stored in the local environment. That is why users who are using the official tarballs produced by the project aren't having any trouble with this option, whereas users that build their own package (i.e. everyone on Arch or Arch-based distros) are.

I suspect the flatpak you used was compiled independently for that purpose.

I use Manjaro and have been installing from the Arch AUR which requires it to be compiled locally ... thus I had the issue.

Hope this helps.
