Common Google Drive Errors

401 Unauthorized

  • Refresh token is invalid or revoked
  • Client ID/secret mismatch
  • Access token expired (if using access token only)

Fix: Re-generate tokens and confirm you are using the correct Google Cloud OAuth client.

403 Forbidden

  • Insufficient permissions for the destination folder
  • Drive scope does not allow required action

Fix: Ensure your OAuth scope and folder permissions are correct.

Destination Folder Not Found

  • Folder ID is wrong
  • Folder exists but account lacks access

Fix: Verify folder ID and share folder with the Google account used for OAuth (if applicable).

Next Steps

  • Run a small test upload first
  • Verify the file appears in Google Drive
