Any news on this? Is this great project still alive?

[RudahXimenes]

Google changed their API, so now they consider non-browser apps as insecure. The way to change this is doing some kind of xdg-open on the ODrive to catch the token.

A possible palliative solution is find the database which stores the token and insert it manually. I tried to find the database by myself, but I couldn't found.

If someone know coding, please help us.

You can have a look at how freeFileSync deals with the problem (select Google Drive as connection type). I guess they open a local http server on 127.0.0.1 and make chrome navigate that.

As far as I see know, it's the Google's official way to do it. There are samples here:

Well guys, this is just outdated. I downloaded the source and built it with new electron-bundler (the GUI Framework). And guess what it is working again. So either someone is forking this and continue developing or the devs would become active again.

@kian1991

If someone want to fork it should be really nice. But if it not happen, there are the VGrive, which still in development.

But in VGrive there is only one maintainer and have some bugs that still in progress. If someone knows Vala / C / C# and wants to help the guy, it will be really good.

Any chance you can post detailed instructions on how to do this for thouse of us that are new to Linux, I tried removing and reinstalling ODrive with the same result as privous.

One hacky solution is to retrieve the AuthURL from console log, than manually paste into the broswer and give access to ODrive: Check ../ODrive/node_modules/google-auth-library/lib/auth/oauth2client.js after npm install and insert console.log(rootUrl + '?' + querystring.stringify(opts)); into line 125:

OAuth2Client.prototype.generateAuthUrl = function(opt_opts) {
  var opts = opt_opts || {};
//...
//...
  console.log(rootUrl + '?' + querystring.stringify(opts));
  return rootUrl + '?' + querystring.stringify(opts);
};

than you will get the Auth URL during npm start on console output which you can open in browser:

Generating oauth url
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?access_type=offline...
GET /connect 302 3.489 ms - 628

Ok I'm still having the same problem, even though one guy claims the bug to be fixed. Did a fresh install and still no change. And I don't have any programming experience outside of basic on a trs 80 back in the early 80's. Anyone have a solution a mortal can understand?

[rodrigo-sumar]

Same Issue here

Debian 10.2

[jmanfer8]

A workaround that work from is to launch opendrive and instead of using the electron browser that is launched, open other browser like firefox and navigate to "127.0.0.1:16409/settings" and follow the configuration steps in this browser.

[pendashteh]

  console.log(rootUrl + '?' + querystring.stringify(opts));

This helped me move on from the Error page. However, on return from Google I get this error on the browser:

Error: invalid_grant
    at Gaxios._request (/path/to/odrive/node_modules/gaxios/build/src/gaxios.js:85:23)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)

[Samael1982]

same. Ubuntu 18.04

[liberodark]

Yeah is new functionality... If you have idea for fix dont hesitate to make a PR

[liberodark]

Have merge the pr from @dionaditya but that help for update deps but no fix the problem. If you have time to test from the source try.
