Kde doesn't connect to Google Drive

Hello,

OpenMandriva Lx release 25.01 (ROME) Rolling for x86_64

Desktop environment is KDE 6.2.5

Tried to connect to google drive but it gives me an error.

Is there a way to fix this? I would love to connect to my google drive account.

This has been marked on the Github issues.

The issue tracker mentions that it is a known KDE bug from Plasma5.

I also found this on Google - Less secure apps & your Google Account - Google Account Help

I would think this is now the more likely culprit.

yes I can confirm this issue extends to other bases like kde plasma arch. So this issue is highly the culprit.

Plus I think they removed gdrive from the list of endpoints kde will access in order to prevent the system getting stuck in a loop.

On a side note google has been holding rw access to gdrive under heavy lock and key now, to the point where even setting up an api key to be used with rclone is either extremely difficult or completely impossible.

All the more reason to run Nextcloud, IMO.

Although I can sympathize with a lot of people who have to use Gdrive for work because of employers.
