When I use Firefox I can browser my Google drive that is configured in KDE’s Online-accounts. But I cannot save files to it. It’s extremely annoying because, rarely, it works but 99,9% of the times it doesn’t. I wonder if anyone managed to solve this problem and have consistent behavior.
what version of firefox do you have.
I have firefox for opensuse (opensuse tumbleweed) 110.0.1
working fine.
i use Google drive all the time using Firefox and have not had an issue
that said
there is a 5 million, hard coded, in file limit .
unless that was a April 1 joke
When trying to save files, watch the status bar in bottom left corner of the browsers. Google uses a lot of different 3rd party usercontent cookies that could be getting blocked by ETP. You may need to tweak your privacy settings to allow them.
I did. And I also started a “troubleshoot” session.
I also used Chrome. Still didn’t work. I am pretty much convinced that this is KDE related and not Firefox/Chrome one.
Any ideas where to look at?
I run KDE an use firefox with “no-script” and " privacy badger " installed and there is no issue
Have you by chance hit the 15 gig free storage limit
No.
This is not a FF issue, or a Google Drive issue.
In the very rare occasion a file is saved, you can see the notification. But I don’t see it. It’s like something is broken, but I cannot find what.
I will try again and post the logs from journalctl
We have a number of desktops and laptops running TW with KDE / Plasma (exclusively our GUI of choice) … we access Drive almost daily, with zero issues using FF, Chrome, Opera, Edge, and Brave.

If you feel it’s a KDE issue can you provide proof?
I’m puzzled by OP’s question, too. But I guess the issue is not firefox, but KDE’s integration of GDrive via Online Accounts.
I added my Google account to KDE Online Accounts, authenticated, etc.
But there is nothing really happening, no KIO GDrive kicking it, no access via Dolphin.
Tried the same on F37 KDE spin and it works out of the box there.
So a simple zypper in kio-gdrive might do the trick.
Actually, there is still no notification that GDrive got mounted, but at least you can access it by typing the location ‘gdrive:/’ into Dolphin.

I am not sure this is a KDE issue. It could be a portal issue as well. Because if I use Okular for example, I can save PDF documents to drive.
Definitely not a Firefox only issue.
Bellow is the journal when I tried to save a PDF directly from FF to my Gdrive.

As I said, I am suspecting the portals. Maybe I found a bug.
Hm, I still do not know how you try to save from Firefox to Google Drive.
Are you using Firefox’s Save as dialogue? This one does not show GDrive locations.
Okular does.
The difference is that Okular is using KDE’s open/save dialogue whereas Firefox seems to come with its own.
Or are you trying to enter the path gdrive:/path/to/your/files/in/google/drive from Dolphin into Firefox’s URL?

I use KDE file selectors in both FF and Chrome.
As @jonzn4suse (I suppose) pointed out, it is possible to save files from FF to Google Drive. The logs are directly from my attempt to save something directly from FF (or Chrome, I get the same errors).
For me, this is a bug either on the portal side or in the on-line accounts side.
And I have no clue how to raise this bug report, so I will just open it in openSUSE (although this is happening on my Fedora box as well) and we will see.
It would help if we could see the what’s going on. Run OBS and show the issue.
OBS=Open Broadcast Studio?

Curious what that has to do with saving files to Google Drive using FF ??
I am curious too. Because AFAIK OBS is written in Qt…
Unless @jonzn4suse would like to see if it’s a portal issue, I guess.
