Unsuccessful transfers after first paused due to Google quota limits

Open garyhtou opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

After the first "Paused due to Google quota limits - transfer will resume in 1-2 minutes", all files/folders which I am the owner of, do not transfer successfully. Instead, their status is "Error, you aren't the owner of this file/folder". Please refer to attached image.

Thank you for the bug report. This error occurs when the app finds an email address for the file owner that doesn't match the email address of your current session. https://github.com/ericyd/gdrive-transfer/blob/b9c6b66039ca6b7b50dc1785d7643d7d0f660a61/src/application/transferFile.js#L13

It's been years since I've touched any code in this application and I don't anticipate having any free time in the near future to investigate this. My suspicion is one of the following:

  1. the file either has multiple owners (I don't think this is possible in the GDrive schema but I don't remember for sure)
  2. the app is getting confused about which account is your current session email
  3. perhaps an account has multiple emails associated with it and it isn't selecting the correct email

I will try to find some time to investigate this further but I don't have a solution at this time.
