GDrive not working for scheduled backup

  • The manual inputs for client id & client secret are not working correctly as GDrive refuses the connection.

    Leaving those inputs blank, clicking the “Sign in with Google” link and filling out the authorization code works fine temporarily whereas it will let me do a manual backup at that exact time without issue. However, any attempt at a scheduled backup fails at the point of remote transfer (the local compressed backup file is created) and any attempt at a manual backup at a later time (ie. next day) without redoing the auth code fails. It seems the method to get authorization is only temporary.

    Perhaps someone can troubleshoot why the manual setup is not working and fix it that way it may work properly at all times?

    Hello,

    Can you provide a printscreen with settings for Google Drive storage?

    I could do that but a screenshot of the page won’t provide you with much information other than my client ID and a hidden secret. I have tried setting the folder id as my backup folder and also leaving it blank to use the root path but neither will work. If I leave everything blank & use the Sign in with google link it works temporarily but no fields are auto filled on the page.

    I moved on from this since I decided to get a S3 bucket from my host. This I was able to get working using this plugin however its not an Amazon bucket so I had to play with the inputs to make it work. Also it won’t remotely delete any of those (my host) bucket files although I’ve been able to do it myself using PHP so I’m just going to manually edit the plugin files for that purpose.
