Saving a file on google drive does not work on version 5.1.0.2

edit

ver. 5.2.2.2.0+ Build ID: 1:5.2.2~rc2-2 Debian Testing still not working

Version: 5.2.2.2.0 on Debian Jessie no go either... i need this feature, though it did ask for a PIN once, but my account wasn't linked to a phone ... and I received no email from google i do get warning emails from google saying something is trying to access my account...

Similar problem here with 5.1.0.3 and calc. I can't save or open a file from Google drive. It doesn't matter if it is a .ods or a microsoft extension. Saving and opening on a ftp-server works fine. Any idea what's wrong?

regards Ger

This appears to have been broken for v5.1.0. Refer tdf#96174 for which a fix has been made for v5.1.1 and v5.2.0.

HI, similar with 5.2.4.2 , tried login , received my G-xxx Pin , but after entered , it said , not valid and won't log me in and cannot save or retrieve files from Google Drive.

Works fine in 32 bits LO 5.2.2.2 (and 5.2.3) on Windows 10 with all updates as per 7th November 2016. An extra password is required. Google will mail you every time you access it. Takes a little more time of course to open and save files.

However, I'd warn against directly working with files on Google Drive or any other cloud service, or even an USB memory stick. What if the connection fails and you lose your work? I'd say it's much better to get the file from the cloud service and park it on your computer, edit the copy on the computer with Libre, save the edited version, if needed, on the computer, then move the edited version to Google Drive. A bit more work, but a lot safer as well.

I tried today with LO 5.2.1.2 on Windows 7 and my Google Drive. After having received the Google verification code LO answers : specified device invalid.
