Invalid grant

[bmihaljevic]

Hi,

I now get the following error when trying to sync.

Failed to refresh auth token: HTTP 400, body: {
"error" : "invalid_grant"
}
exception: /home/bmihalje/Downloads/grive2/libgrive/src/protocol/OAuth2.cc(116): Throw in function void gr::OAuth2::Refresh()

Do you have any ideas what the problem might be?

Thank you.

Last time I saw that, I had to delete the .grive and .grive-status and let it sync all over with the exchange of grant permission.

Try grive -a

Thanks, @redjamesg , that solved it!

I had already been trying with grive -a but that was not fixing it.

@redjamesg, @bmihaljevic

Where are .grive and .grive-status? Can't find them!

Thank you.

They are created in your base GDrive (wherever you have decided that to be) when you first run grive. So e.g. if your GDrive is ~/GoogleDrive, then when you run grive -a you must first cd to ~/GoogleDrive and run it from there (in terminal.) Then, you will find .grive and .grive-status there. You must be owner of the GDrive, so best to put it in your home or a partition that you own. Do you have the latest stable version? Maybe recompile/reinstall.

Thank you @j0nn0. I deleted those two files (.grive and .grive-status), ran grive -a, and now grive is working for me again.

I have a similar situation but slightly different stack trace. Running version:
grive version 0.5.1-dev Oct 13 2016 12:07:36
I do not have .grive-status but do have .grive-state. Should I delete .grive and .grive-state?

I ran into the same issue. I only removed .grive file and re-run grive -a that fixed the problem. Still curious why it didn't work without removing .grive file though.
