Google Drive Configuration issue

Post by jeffabad »

So i created as instructed , everything goes well ( updated server files , redirect uri etc.) until you paste the oauth json contents and click request code. Error is " Configution issue : Unable to find client id in the private key you provided " . I followed another youtube video that makes you select tv client and it loads the new tab google opens but it says redirect uri mismatch even though i have it right. what ive noticed is , when you use "web" on the json file it says config issue. but if you replace it with "installed" it works fine but just has issues going through authentication on google part. It says need to verify on google and it takes 4-6weeks. Any fix ?

Hello jeffabad,

Sorry to hear about your issue adding Google Drive with the new authentication method on JB4. Could you please try generating an OAuth client ID one more time with the Application Type: Web Application and check again.

To do so, please follow the steps below:

1. Visit: https://console.cloud.google.com/
2. Select the Project you previously used for your Google Drive Destination
3. Expand the Navigation Menu on the top left corner and Navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials
4. Click on "+ CREATE CREDENTIALS > OAuth client ID
5. On the "Create OAuth client ID" Page, under Application Type, please select: Web Application
- Additional options will pop up. Under Authorized redirect URIs , Click "+ ADD URI" and insert: https://auth.jetbackup.com/google/
6. Then click Create
7. Once you created the new OAuth Client ID, please download the corresponding JSON file generated.
8. Go back and modify your Google Drive destination
9. Copy the contents of the JSON file and paste them into the "OAuth 2.0 Client" text box
10. Click the "Request Access Code" button for a Google approval window to appear and generate an Access Code.
11. Copy the access code and paste it to the "Access Code" text area.
12. Click the "save" button.

We look forward to hearing your update, If you continue to experience issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to our 24/7 Support Team at [email protected] so that our technicians may better assist you in further diagnosing your issue.
