Grive does not work

[simeonborko]

I have been using Grive for long time. It worked perfectly. But today it says:

Reading local directories Synchronizing folders exception: /build/buildd/grive-0.2.0/libgrive/src/http/CurlAgent.cc(149): Throw in function long int gr::http::CurlAgent::ExecCurl(const string&, gr::http::Receivable*, const gr::http::Header&) Dynamic exception type: N5boost16exception_detail10clone_implIN2gr4http5ErrorEEE std::exception::what: std::exception [PN2gr4expt6MsgTagE] = [PN2gr4http11CurlCodeTagE] = 0 [PN2gr4http15HttpResponseTagE] = 400 [PN2gr4http6UrlTagE] = https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full/-/folder?max-results=50&showroot=true [PN2gr4http9HeaderTagE] = Authorization: Bearer ya29.WwGWXdYnw_iNWNJeXTO4sZHnmEzwqFFoqJN1HjHPzyMki2xvcGPIOG8ADE6XvsHHE9X48pw_UTSKDA GData-Version: 3.0

What does it mean? What should I do in order to repair it? Thank you very much.

Grive is using an API for Drive that was deprecated in 2012 and finally turned off today. It looks like they stopped maintaining this project and haven't migrated it to the supported API since there are earlier tickets on this issue tracker asking about the API deprecation that went unanswered.

you might find https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse a useful replacement ... I am

Same problem for me, and I guess everyone. I will look at the ocamlfuse one.

check out a python alternative: https://github.com/iwonbigbro/gsync Additional doc: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Rsync_with_Google_Drive

I've chosen to use https://github.com/odeke-em/drive

Are the maintainers still around (is there a chance it could be ported to a new API)?

[Cilke]

After 2 days of browsing the issue I found now why. Colinkeenan is this woks like grive?

Thanks guys for your guidance,

@Cilke After installing, initializing, and getting through the first run, "drive push" works essentially the same as grive. It has many other functions though, and you will need to read the documentation to at least get the directory initialized: https://github.com/odeke-em/drive#drive

I was told by the author of a grive fork that corrects this issue where to find it .. and it appears to work fine (not that I've checked the diff - all I can say of the source is that certain compile issues in the original are also corrected, so recent maintenance work has definitely been done and configure and compile now goes very smoothly under gcc 4.9 on debian stable):

Google has shut down old "Document List" API since April. Use my fork:
https://github.com/vitalif/grive2 - it supports new REST API

@pbreuer thanks for this great news!

I will give a try right now. Have a safe weekend!

Cheers!

@colinkeenan Thanks for your guidance too!
