    Hi David,

    Read you re FAQ’x on this issue.
    What you are saying is, that for Google Drive, configuring API acces is difficult and buggy.

    I can confirm that. No succes configuring Google Drive to your product.

    Perhaps you shouldn’t claim the product works whith Google Drive.

    regards

    Hi,

    What the FAQ is saying is that the erorr message from Google is telling you that you’ve not correctly copied-and-pasted the redirect_uri setting over from the UpdraftPlus dashboard into the Google settings page.

    I’m happy to say that there are approximately 50,000 people happily using Google Drive with UpdraftPlus, and that there are no known issues in the code itself. But, for a newcomer, the setup instructions can be intimidating, which is why there’s the box at the top suggesting either hiring someone to help you set it up if you have trouble, or using something more straightforward, such as Dropbox or UpdraftPlus Vault, which we’ve engineered to be as simple to set up as possible. (We can’t force Google to make their own setup procedures simpler, much as it might be good for everyone).

    David
