Just tested remote source with version 2.3.0.4.
OneDrive worked fine !
Google Drive didn’t backup anything.
Any idea what’s wrong.
Does anyone already do this succesfully ?
Please help.
This is a security limitation from Google.
The way the Duplicati backup works is that it requests a limited-scope token that only grants access to read files that Duplicati has created itself.
This is good for storing backups, as there is no chance that Duplicati will delete a document by accident.
But it also prevents Duplicati from reading files. To fix this, you need a full-access scope and Google requires a validation process before granting such access (easy to abuse).
The workaround is to host your own authentication setup, which can be limited to internal users, such that you are allowed to issue the full-access scope without requiring validation.
We have a guide for setting up your own authentication server and configuring a Google Cloud Services account to allow this:
Thanks for the rapid answer.
I have aborted this way to make a backup of the google drive
