No write-permission to Google-Drive-Folder

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
KeePassDroid Version 1.9.9
Google Drive 1.0.77 
1. Open the KDB-File from the My-Drive Folder
2. Add a New Entry
3. By pressing the Save-Button i get an Error-Message: 
"/data/data/com.google.adroid.apps.docs/cache/filecache2/51...78/Database.kdb.tm
p (permission denied)"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Does anyone have experience with Google Drive and KeePass? For me, it does not 
work.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Defy+ Andriod 2.3.6
KeePassDroid Version 1.9.9
Google Drive 1.0.77 

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm going to try it soon enough.  Just got 4G here, but it is flaky at times, 
and I need to file always available, so....

You might be looking in the incorrect area. 

Try this Open the Google Drive application -> offline files -> 
Database.kdb.example This should open if not ICS your phone

any changes made to the offline .kdb file don't get pushed back out to the 
online version. example:
-so if i open the offline file in keepass
-edit an entry
-press save
-back out of keepass
-go into settings and sync my gmail account
-go back to drive and offline files (noticed it was refreshing
-let it finish before moving on)
-open the offline .kdb file
-the edit is not there

I have the same problem.  It will be nice if it works the same way as Dropbox.  
I'm using Dropbox at the moment but I prefer Google drive because I have more 
storage space on there.

It's not just Keepass that this effects.

"Individual items in the Google Drive app for Android can be viewed offline 
when your mobile device has no Internet connectivity. Offline editing isn’t 
currently supported."

http://support.google.com/docs/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2440137

CRAZY that we can't send back updated files. Not even manually.

May have to use dropbox (yuck).

Disable encryption in Google Drive and make the file available offline. Then 
just open the file from the cache directory 
"/data/data/com.google.adroid.apps.docs/cache/...".

I did not listen so much but they were talking about integrating Drive in to 
you apps and some new Drive API at the Google I/O.
So my guess is that the feature to write back data to google drive should be 
possible whit the new API's

Google Drive supports modifications going back from Android. The following link 
should assist:
https://developers.google.com/drive/integrate-android-ui
At the bottom, it says: "When your app modifies files, use files.update to push 
your changes to Drive"

Still waiting for an update. I really want to replace dropbox as my daily 
driver as I trust google more so with my important files. This is really a pain 
if I can't "open with", edit the file, and save back seamlessly. This couldn't 
have slipped by the google dev team so there must be something in place.

Same error here.
This, and the absence of a Linux client for Drive, are problematic (to say the 
least)...

As a work around my kbd file is in its own folder on google drive, this folder 
is then sync'd with my droid every 1hr using a specific folder sync app. 
Although not ideal it does let me update my kbd from either my android or home 
pc and retain google-drive instead of dropbox.

#20 Can you please say what "folder sync app" you are using? Would be useful 
until Drive eventually pays attention to this problem.

I believe Google Drive on Android only permits read-only access. (So this 
should be a Google Drive feature request, not a keepassdroid issue.)

Recieving this error with opening a simple .txt file and try to editing it. 
every txt editor has only read only access. only total commander has offered to 
change permission and then only i could edit the file with total commander text 
editor.

Hi everyone, I have the same problem with SG3 and Note 10.1. The app Kingsoft 
office let edit and save to Google Drive, It seems this app save a local copy 
and you can save it to the cloud selecting Google Drive, Dropbox, etc selecting 
the option save to the cloud and introducing your credentials of the service 
you are interested in and finally selecting the directory and upload and 
overwrite the existant file. It`s an option to do going the same way while the 
better and final solution is implemented.

Forked the KeePassDroid and added some prototype code tonight that allows API 
level read and write access for kdb and kdbx files that are stored in Google 
Drive. Submitted the pull request as well from 
https://github.com/fugisoft/keepassdroid.  Getting the Google Drive 
authentication to work correctly for an Android app is difficult and the 
required permissions that were needed in KeePassDroid may not be acceptable to 
users who do not want to use Google Drive.  A working version of the prototype 
was uploaded to the google play store under the name KeePassDroid For Google 
Drive for testing purposes only.

Definitely a Google Drive issue as it is a common problem, not just for 
KeyPass.  I've switched to DropBox for storing the dbase file.

Keepass2Andorid can write to Google Drive.

I just created a new entry on my phone. And then I opened .kdbx file in the 
Google Drive Sync folder. And the new entry was there.

Keepass2Android plays well with Google Drive. KeePassDroid does not. 

Original comment by kashy...@thoughtworks.com on 28 Jul 2014 at 8:30

But Keepass2Android is also asking for permission to manage *the entire* google 
drive. This is unacceptable.
