Repositories

I'm trying to play with this too, with limited success.  Although I have connected an account, I keep getting the error "Exception - 403: The user does not have sufficient permissions for this file." when trying to create an Access Controlled Link.  Although I get the error, when I log into the connected (and authorised) google account, I can see a folder structure has been created in GDrive, with a disconnected copy of the google doc I have tried to add in Moodle.

@all in this thread ... have been using Google Oauth2 authentication before it was offered as part of core.   Can say this ... Google (like Moodle) isn't 'standing still'.   Because they are global and have presence in every part of the globe, there are 'watched' shall we say ... GDPR etc.

I have two servers on different networks (one of which is Google Compute Engine) and recently have been reviewing Google Oauth2 setups on both ... actually forced to in order to get both auth and Drive to work.

Anyhooo ... here are some notes/clips from recent reviews/setups of the two servers I have using Google.   Please note they are clips from Google pages ... with links to some ... and are not organized in a 1,2,3 .... sorry bout that.

Here goes:

Oauth2 has gotten more complicated to initially configure me thinks.
I already had two sites using it and they have been working but seems I can't leave well enough alone ... or felt there was something 'lurking' and decided to review setups.

It appears now that Google has a:
Google Cloud Platform/API Trust & Safety

The API's one needs for Oauth2 and for Drive is found ...
https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/

Endbled apis and services.
Google Drive API - has to be enabled.
IAM Service Account Credentials API has to be enabled.

Then one can get to OAuth2 client ID's etc.

The following clips from an email from Google's
Google Cloud Platform/API Trust & Safety.  Obviously, the project ID
here nas been obscured.


Thank you for submitting a verification request.

To proceed with the approval process, please ensure that your project api-project-ANUMBER is in compliance with the following requirements.

Domain Verification

The website ownership of the following domains should be verified. Please go to the Search Console with an account that is either a Project Owner or a Project Editor on your Project.

    mydomain.org

(which happens to be a Google Compute Engine CentOS 7 instance running
2 Moodles ... a 3.4 and a 3.5 ... both using Google Authentication.

Thank you for your patience. Please reply back to this email after your project is in compliance with the requirements above.

In console, search for 'domain verification' which will lead you to Google info ... confusing to say the least ... but don't quit!   Hang in there.   The results are worth the headache's ... IMHO!

** Verfication method
HTML file upload

Great job, https://mydomain.org/ is now verified! You can now use Google services for your property such as Search Console .

Your Google Account will be recorded in Google's systems as an official owner of this property.

Note - your ownership information will be stored and be visible to other owners (both current and future).

Select the domain provider you have for your Moodle site - mine with Network Solutions ... am an old dude!

Then it will suggest ways of getting this TXT
info into DNS or
an alt way of verifying server.

The HTML file upload me thinks is easier - see ** above!

Well, there ya have it!  Need to do this entire thing about 10 more times before I can begin to internalize ... and even then, if I 'snooze' I could 'loose'. :\   But that's tech/internet and cloud today for ya!

Best of luck!   Hoping this might help a little.

'spirit of sharing', Ken

Hi,

I express the same remark as Gjeo in his original message: When you create an access controlled link to the file, the filename gets duplicated in the system account Google Drive:

If you then make changes to the original file (i.e. the one not shared), these are of course not reflected in Moodle.

Does somebody know a work-around, or a specific setting somewhere, in order to avoid those duplicate filenames and only keep the shared version of the file?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion!

Bart.
