Problem setting up Google Drive destination

Sue Young

Using instrucitons found here I have tried to set up a project for a system back up using the back up in whm.  I get the following error

Warning: No Google Drive™ credentials have been generated for client id, "-----” ….You must generate new credentials to access destinations that require this client ID.

I have done this in the past with no problem.  I am only setting up a new one because I had to update my server,  What could I be doing wrong?  One problem that I know may be an issue is that the link states "n the Which API are you using? menu, select Google Drive API." but Google Drive APi is not an available choice.  What should I be selecting?  Also it states "n the App Information section, enter the information for App Name:  What should I use as the App Name?  and "Enter a name for the application in the Name field."  What name sould I use.  I know I am getting older but these direction seem a bit vague.  Can someone please help me set this up?  Thanks

Sue

    Ok so I found the Google Drive API but now I am getting the following error.  

    You can’t sign in because this app sent an invalid request. You can try again later, or contact the developer about this issue. Learn more about this error
    If you are a developer of this app, see error details.
    Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch
    I am using the link in this line and replaced the hostname with mine.
    1. In the Authorized redirect URIs field, add an entry for each server performing backups to this location, where HOSTNAME represents the hostname of a server: 
      https://HOSTNAME:2087/googledriveauth/callback
     
     

     

    The redirect_uri passed in the authorization request does not match an authorized redirect URI for the OAuth client ID. Review authorized redirect URIs in the Google API Console Credentials page.

    Hey there!  We may need to see a ticket about this issue if that tool isn't working as intended, as there shouldn't be any additional setup required on the cPanel side outside of what is in the WHM >> Backup Configuration page.

    I have the same problem. Google console is not accepting that link:

    Invalid origin: URIs must not contain a path or end with '/'.

    I don't see that the original poster ever submitted a ticket, so we never got a resolution on this one.  Could you submit a ticket since you're still seeing this behavior?

    sure, but you can see that the instruction needs an update since the google does not accept any path...

    i see now that I can not submit the ticket since I bought the licence through Hetzner with my server. I don't know why is that since I am your customer after all. Via proxy or not. 

    Anyway I can not submit a ticket...

    If your license isn't purchased directly from us you would need to contact them for support, and then they can escalate the issue to us if necessary.
