Authorization problem

[Knaackee]

Hey,

at first, thanks for your great work!

I just installed the plugin and did the Google cloud stuff without a problem.

The problem is that the redirect after auth isn't working.

• The auth popup opens in my chrome browser
• i accept
• Google redirects me to: http://localhost:51894/google-photos?state=state_parameter_passthrough_value&code=...code...&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.readonly
• This results in

This site can’t be reachedlocalhost refused to connect.
Try:

Checking the connection
[Checking the proxy and the firewall](chrome-error://chromewebdata/#buttons)
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Any idea?

What operating system / device are you using?

[Knaackee]

I am using Windows 11.

Can you test it in the Sandbox vault? I have tested just now using a new install in the sandbox vault and I don't receive that error on Windows 11.

If you still receive the error, I suggest it might be some firewall software or Chrome extension running on your computer that is blocking the connection?

[Knaackee]

I will try this and report back.

I tried a new vault, disabling the firewall completly and tried it in chromes incognito mode. Still the same. ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Thanks for your help!
