Google drive “invalid credentials for email@gmail.com”












0














I tried to access my google drive on ubuntu, but I get the subject error message. I mounted the drive through gnome control center as seen in these instructions: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/08/use-google-drive-ubuntu-16-04-linux-desktops.



I tried to go into online accounts and log into my google account, which I succesfully did, but no difference in being able to access drive. Please help thanks.

  • This could be a browser issue. Have you tried a different browser? Try installing chromium - - sudo apt-get install -y chromium-browser and log in.

  • No, I'm not trying to access it via the browser, it's installed on my computer through the gui, I can't remember how. It shows up kind of like another drive except it looks like a server instead of a drive.
