Unable to setup Google Drive within Managed Services

[cuddy15]

I’m running Windows 10 build 1909 and LibreOffice 6.4. I have 2fa on my Google account.

When trying to set up Google Drive as a Managed Service to access the remote files, it prompts me for a 6 digit PIN. The setup fails with the error “The specified device is invalid”.

The setup box also has a Share field above the username. When reviewing the intertubes, it doesn’t seem that anyone else has that box. I have been leaving it blank during the setup.

I have created an App Password within my Google account to us with LibreOffice but it still asks me for a PIN then fails.

None of the current support forms helped me with my issue.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

This has not worked in LO for some time and there is no time frame for repair.

As a sample please see comments/answers in these posts:

"Enter 6-digit pin"/"Incorrect Username & Password" message displaying erroneously when trying to set up Remote File connection between Google Drive and LO using File > Open Remote...

Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6, LO 6.2.5.2 The reason the message is displaying erroneously is that I definitely have the details right, have triple-checked that the User, Password and Label details match my Google info. Unless I’m entering the wrong info? Just to clarify: Type: Google Drive User: -the email address associated with the Google account- Password: -the password associated with the Google account- Label: -the username associated with the google account- (verified by checking the Googl…

Connect LibreOffice Version 6.0.7.3 to google drive

I am trying to connect Libre Office version 6.0.7.3 to Google Drive. I cannot get past the request to enter a 6 digit pin. I have two-factor-authentication. I have seen many posts here with folks reporting the same problem for years and there is no definitive answer to the bug/question. Can you help me know if I can set up the connection successfully?

Cannot open Google drive. Also it has a 4-digit, not 6-digit PIN.

I’m using LibreOffice 6.2. I have files on Google drive. Is my username on LibreOffice the same as the full name Google gives me, or the first part of my G-mail account. e.g. When I log into Google, if my gmail acct is “abc123@gmail.com” Do I use “abc123” on LibreOffice, or do I use “abc123@gmail.com” LibreOffice asks for a 6-digit pin. I just updated my Google drive pin and it is limited to 4-digits. Help would be appreciated.

There are many more - all with about the same answer. Search Google drive on this site if you want to examine more.
