[SOLVED] Can't mount Google Drive

I just installed q4os with KDE yesterday. Trying to mount Google Drive in Dolphin. I installed kio-gdrive from the package manager and clicked on Network to setup my account. A popup appears asking me to login to my google account. I put in my email address and click next to add my password. It hangs. It throws an error: There was an error while trying to process the request: Access grant not present.

How do I fix it?

Is your Google account configured to allow access to less secure apps?

@Bin yes. I do this with my laptop and other desktop.

@itsoulos I might consider paying for a solution if I was desperate. But I should be able to do it for free. Then this desktop is my old one, so it won't see a lot of use.

I had Linuxmint 20 Ulysses, Cinnamon desktop and it seemed to be dragging down the computer. With Q4OS is flies.

It costs you just 20 dollars and you have no problems to use it in a lot of machines.
I have used it for many year now without any problem and without paying additional money

I was able to do it with Rclone: https://rclone.org/drive/

There are other methods mentioned here:

Re: [SOLVED] Can't mount Google Drive

Thanks for adding it.

I really like this OS. Might put it on my laptop if we can get some bugs out of it. It has Linuxmint XFCE on it. I'll just have to compare how much of my system resources each OS uses. The Q4OS seems faster on my old desktop than Linuxmint, Uma 20.2 Cinnamon desktop was.
