Google Drive add connection not possible

Posts: 13 · tschedrick 16 Mar 2021, 20:45

Hello community,

unfortunately I ran into another issue:

if I try to add connection for Google Drive in FFS the default browser starts, I am able to login to my Google account, but after pressing "allow" the browser only shows "Waiting for 127.0.0.1" (probably the local webinterface?) indefinetly.

I tried Firefox, Brave and Chrome - no difference...
My System is Lubuntu.

Is there any other way to authenticate FFS to Google Drive? Any other suggestions how to solve the issue?

It would be great to find a solution - this is my main Task of the setup: sync folders to Google Drive.

Have a great evening

Does anybody have any suggestion? e.g. is it possible to authenticate google drive on another pc and transfer the "authentication" to the machine i have the issue with?

I am stuck right now... Would be great to receive some hints.

Hi Zenju - thanks for the reply! Sounds good. I will try it after the release... I found a workaround this weekend:

I created a "sync job" on another PC (Windows) with Google Drive, copied the Job to the Linux machine, logged into the Google account in chrome, opened the "sync job" in FFS --> FFS asked for the authentication in chrome --> after granting the access in the browser the authentication worked!
