Couldn’t get it to work

    Thanks for making this plugin!

    I couldn’t get it to work on a new WordPress install with no other plugins. I did get it to grant permissions successfully, but on the page was just a pulsing white “donut” icon.

    I think the Google Cloud API creation instructions might need updating: At one point I was prompted to either make it public or specify test users, so I made it public. This was a bit scary and I could have used some reassurance that I was not publishing the API on a public access market for others to grab and use.

    I’ll try again another time because I like this plugin. Good luck!

    Hi,
    you are right that the tutorial needs updating, Google just keeps changing stuff… ??

    Are you on Google Workspace? If not, the last time I checked you needed to make the app public. Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean it will be shown in any marketplace, just means that any user with the proper link can use it – but the link is only available in the plugin ??

    I will look for making the app public – I may have seen or done that but hopefully that fixes the problem

    I was not but I just set it up and am trying Google Workspace for a trial period. Perhaps it will be useful moving forward

    I am [email protected]

    Presume this means that the app is already public

    Google Drive API

    Service name
    drive.googleapis.com

    Type
