Problem with Google Drive Converter when grading in Moodle 3.3

I solved this myself.

I turns out there was an issue with the server that was preventing Ghostscript from running. 

We had PHP-FPM enabled on this server, which was preventing the php exec() function from running. Once I followed these steps and removed exec from the new settings for PHP-FPM, Ghostscript started working, and in turn Google Drive Converter. It's possible this will fix the Unoconv issues too, but I'm happy enough just using GDC.

I had the same problem. Everything was set up properly, both in Google OAuth2 and Moodle, but I couldn't see the converted file when grading.

It happened to be the problem of checking the "online text" checkbox of submission type in the assignment setting page.

Unchecking it solved the problem.

It means that the converter wants only a file to be converted, without any other type of input as the online text that the student could send with the assignment file.
