Google Drive Files

This plugin will sync a configured folder in your Google Drive locally to your OctoPrint instance.

Prerequisites

Dependencies

Due to upstream dependencies this plugin has been updated to only work in Python 3. You can either flash OctoPi 0.18 which ships with Python 3 standard or use the upgrade instructions here to upgrade your instance.

You may also need to install some system dependencies, specifically if you manually installed OctoPrint and didn't use the OctoPi image. Known dependencies that have been reported are Rust and libssl-dev. Use the commands to below to install them.

sudo apt install rustc
sudo apt install libssl-dev

Setup

Install via the bundled Plugin Manager or manually using this URL:

https://github.com/jneilliii/OctoPrint-GoogleDriveFiles/archive/master.zip

Configuration

Once the Prerequisite steps above have been completed and you have downloaded your client_secrets.json file follow these steps to authorize the plugin to your newly created app.

1. Open OctoPrint's settings from the System menu at the top of the page and select Google Drive Files in the left-hand navigation menu.
   
2. Fill in the name of the folder you'd like to sync with in your Google Drive (will be added if it doesn't exist), use the Browse button to select your downloaded client_secrets#####.json file and press the Upload button.
   
3. An authentication URL will be generated, click the Get Auth Code button to open a new window and authorize your custom Google app.
   
4. Log in to your Google account you want to give Drive access to. You will get a warning that the App isn't verified. This is normal as you have not submitted your custom app for verification by Google. You can choose to do that if you want but is not necessary for the operation of the plugin. Click the Continue button.
   
5. Click the Continue button to retrieve your authentication code.
   
6. Click the copy button to copy the authentication code to the clipboard.
