Invalid\Unauthorized

[Rais93]

Hi,

first of all, thanks for the tool.

i'm having this response from terminal:

Verification code retrieved correctly: XXXXXXXXXXXXX.
Cannot retrieve auth tokens.
Failure("Unexpected error response: {\n  \"error\": \"invalid_client\",\n  \"error_description\": \"Unauthorized\"\n}")

But i'm receiving Success! response from google.

Doesn't seem to match any issue here. Any help?

I was getting the exact same error yesterday with google-drive-ocamlfuse version 0.7.32 running under Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Noble Numbat on an old Intel MacBook Air.

I tried reinstalling google-drive-ocamlfuse from the online repository and also directly from the downloaded deb package, but the "Failed to retrieve auth tokens" error persisted.

I do, however, have the same google-drive-ocamlfuse/Ubuntu combination successfully running on an old HP laptop so, after running the authorization command in debug mode and looking at the log files, I suspected it might be a settings problem at Google's end. However, when I looked, the Google Oauth credentials appeared the same for both instances as far as I could see.

Nonetheless, I went into Google, deleted the Oauth credentials and recreated them again, copied the new ID and secret into the google-drive-ocamlfuse authorization command and the access token was retrieved correctly.

Note: You'll probably need to rm -rf ~/.gdfuse before rerunning the authorization command.
