I've got the same error when uploading,

$ grive .

I have the same issue. Breaking the hanging session with Ctrl-C and restarting will usually make grive go on to the next couple of files, but then end in the 500 error again. Normal web access to Gdrive (and Google in general) works fine.

I tried adding exponential back-off on the retries, but it doesn't look like a request-rate problem (I guess that's 503). I also noticed that upon restarting grive, it recognizes the 500'd file as already synced (and a quick check on drive confirms that it indeed sync properly), so there's definitely something strange going on there. In particular, it means that the retries are bound to fail (since the file was successfully uploaded the first time), so perhaps retrying the entire operation (post+put) would make more sense.

I have the same problem. Note that I am trying to upload over 170,000 files.

The upload works for about the first 50 files and then fails with the same repeated error message:

resquest failed due to temperory error: 500. retrying in 5 seconds

I recently installed grive and have exactly the same problem. Unbelievable that after two years the issue still remains unresolved.

@kklis unfortunately, the original developer @nestal abandoned the project without passing write permission to a possible successor. Despite this fact a lot of people already submitted pull requests. However, they remain unmerged since there is currently no active maintainer. However, some people try to give grive a rebirth. Stay tuned at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/grive-devel

I installed Grive yesterday and synced it.
