[BUG] ODrive corrupted my file on Googledrive

[nophead]

Describe the bug ODrive replaced the contents of one of my files with a JSON exception and wrote it back to GoogleDrive without changing the date so I have no idea when it did this.

To Reproduce No idea.

Expected behavior File contents should not be corrupted.

Screenshots

 }
}

Desktop

• OS: [Ubuntu 18.04]
• Version [@HEAD with my own rate limit patch.]

Additional context The file happened to be part of an XML database so the program that parsed it threw an error. I have no idea if any of my tens of thousands of other files has been trashed.

The name of the corrupted file is Assert.palmerc, so I don't know if that was an ironic coincidence or somehow created the bug.

Another file simply has this in it:

Service Unavailable

Comparing 21,195 Files in 2,604 Folders with a backup I made before trying ODRIVE it seems that only the two files I mentioned are corrupt.

Thanks for sharing @nophead . This is really a severe bug and makes me pause using odrive. I'd wait and look forward to the analysis and fix of this issue.

[nophead]

Yes I have had to stop using it as it is the worst possible bug. It must not be checking a return status at some point and takes the error message as the file contents.

Better to use the 0.2.1 version is more stable

I ran into this too on 0.3.0.

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "global",
    "reason": "internalError",
    "message": "Internal Error"
   }
  ],
  "code": 500,
  "message": "Internal Error"
 }
}

This is happening on 0.2.1 as well...

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "usageLimits",
    "reason": "userRateLimitExceeded",
    "message": "User Rate Limit Exceeded. Rate of requests for user exceed configured project quota.

Yes I couldn't use the 0.2.1 version because of the rate limit problem. As this bug states I used the latest HEAD with my own patch for the rate limit bug that I detail here: https://github.com/liberodark/ODrive/issues/99#issuecomment-525251036

I presume this bug is caused by not checking an error return value somewhere.

[liberodark]

Yeah is a API limit. Google make a limite from the API for download files / make request. Is a big problem. One google not have native client and two is make a limit for projects...

Does Google Drive keep a copy of the old file in history when browsing through web client?

[nophead]

Where would I find a file history?

The problem is I have 20000 files on Google drive, how would I know when one gets randomly corrupted? I only noticed because it was an part of a database and the reader told me it was corrupt. Fortunately I had a backup.

[cserpell]

I get your point. Just for the record, when browsing your files, click over one and at the right hand side, there is an "Activity" panel with versions.

I'm not using odrive because of this. Critically serious bug still open and unresolved!

[nophead]

I moved on to InSync. Not free but a one off payment and seems on a par with Google's backup and sync.
