Google Drive Backup Test Upload Uploads to Wrong Path (1)
"Google Drive Folder path": Backups/ANDROID/GPSLogger (location history) "App Saves to path: : Backups (1)/ANDROID/GPSLogger (location history)
It should check if the path exists first! Either way not choose a new one...
GpsLogger "v1.31" on Android 14. I can't work out how to escape the dollar sign but "Backups" starts and ends with one in case that matters.
Was the first path created by the app? I remember having to put a note in the folder path dialog, the folders need to be created by this application.
But I can't see why it would append a (1) in that Backups (1) - is that in Google Drive itself or on a file system path?
You can use backticks ` to surround the folder names, that way weird formatting shouldn't get in the way.
I just did a test, I chose folder name $Backups$ and it was created just fine. Any idea how I can recreate the issue?
The $backups$ folder is an existing folder with lots of other app and hardawre backups. I want to put GPSlogger backups there, obviously I can't delete it. "(1)" was seen on the path, I didn't look in Google drive.
Ah OK, there's a restriction that the folder you're uploading to needs to be created by GPSLogger. GPSLogger doesn't have permission to look at existing Google Drive folders, only folders created by it, so it has no way of knowing or testing for the existing folder path.
I think you could create a single, non slash, folder in Google Drive from this app, then move it into an existing subfolder but if you reset or reinstall, you'll have to do it all over again.
