    Hello,
    I'm new with Kubuntu.
    I wanted to have my gdrive visible in dolphin. but impossible.
    I saw that i need to use online accounts in the setting system, and it should be on the left.
    But I don't have anything.
    Is somebody can help please?
    thank you​

    Do you have the packages:

    kaccounts-providers
    kio-gdrive

    installed?

      No.
      I was on linux mint before. and just had to go on online accounts and it was fine.
      I just try "sudo apt install kaccounts-integration kaccounts-providers" said that's already the newest.

      I will try with Kio...
      thank you

        Even after installing the required libraries, there's no guarantee it will work!

        It's been broken in KDE Neon for so long I gave up with it and just used my browser to upload/download files.

          I just now added two google drive accounts, successfully. I suspect fixes along with the Plasma 6.2.x updates on neon.

          I don't know if it was something I did yet, but undoing that after adding the first account, I was still able to add the second.

            And...

            It's now working again for me..

            I've only got 4.5Gb of space left though in my Google account and I don't fancy paying
            them 2,500 yen per year for 100Gb of storage!

              I got excited that I read it's working for some so I tried today. Kept saying "loading for 2 minutes so I deleted the account and re-added it. The amount of options when re-adding the account had increased so I was happily expecting results with fingers crossed. Twelve (12) minutes later, it's still "loading". I'm guessing it works for some, not the others. Running 24.04 by the way with all the latest updates.

                  I just tried KDE neon User Edition (20241201-0744) & Testing Edition (20241203-0033): With both versions, Online Accounts is still super broken when trying to synchronize with a Nextcloud instance: I am redirected to the login interface, but neither the button to submit an app-specific password, nor the button for the automatic login flow work.
                  Unlike the ownCloud integration, there is no way to enter the (app-specific) login credentials within the online account interface. On other distros - e.g. Linux Mint Cinnamon and (AFAIK) Ubuntu GNOME - there is a standardized login form that actually works.
                  Here is a screenshot from Linux Mint:

                    Yes, Google is being Google a bit.
                    The old issue was a broken/old signond, but that was fixed already.

                    https://invent.kde.org/network/kacco...ers/-/issues/6
                    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480779

                    It isn't just kio-gdrive, or Kubuntu

                    No one knows why Gnome's authentication is OK (probably including Gnome) but they are looking at it.

                    There are some workarounds, the easiest is to steal use Gnome's client id and auth info:
                    https://discuss.kde.org/t/kde-online...1/51?u=claydoh

                    My earlier successes may stem from the fact that I have had a auth id from using rclone when setting that up on my NAS, and may have added it to my desktop, which I have since wiped and done a clean install, thus having a broken gdrive.

                      I am not talking about Google, I never tried to add a Google account.
                      I was trying to add a Nextcloud Account. And unlike Adding an OwnCloud account, there is no such native login form inside Online Accounts-App. Instead, this login flow gets initiated: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/la...low/index.html
                      But as mentioned in my last post, this login flow doesn't work

                      I was also trying to add my Nextcloud credentials with the OwnCloud implementation. And it kind-of worked: At least the WebDAV part was recognized and added. CardDAV/CalDAV were not recognized.
                      But looking into the - I suppose - related code parts, CardDAV/CalDAV might be also broken for OwnCloud:
                      https://invent.kde.org/network/kacco...controller.cpp

                      For both CardDAV and CalDAV, the base URL should begin with
                      Code:
                      /remote.php/dav/​
                      the base URL from Kaccounts seems to be
                      Code:
                      /remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/​
                      I cannot find any reference for CalDAV.
                      https://www.davx5.com/tested-with/owncloud
                      https://doc.owncloud.com/webui/next/.../sync_ios.html

                      WebDAV seem to be correct:
                      Both Kaccounts and the documentation I could find are referencing
                      Code:
                      /remote.php/webdav​
                      as base URL.
                      https://www.davx5.com/tested-with/owncloud

                      The same goes for Nextcloud:
                      For CardDAV and CalDAV, the base URL is
                      Code:
                      /remote.php/dav​
                      For WebDAV, the base URL is
                      Code:
                      /remote.php/webdav​
                      https://www.davx5.com/tested-with/nextcloud

                      If my assumption is correct, CardDAV/CalDAV is also broken for OwnCloud. Fixing this wouldn't be that difficult I suppose?
                      And since both OwnCloud/Nextcloud behave similar, why not use the code from OwnCloud to get Nextcloud back to a working state?

                        Yup, sorry. Too much multitasking, and its hot. I though I was in a KDE neon thread .

                        My NAS with Nextcloud is still mothballed, waiting for the money to be shipped, so I can't test this yet unless I set up something somewhere.

                        ...just spun one up on Linode. Will check it out once I am in an Kubuntu 24.10 setting.
                        Adding the account worked just fine for me on KDE neon just now. There was a native login box, same as recall it being on Plasma 5 when I first set it up on the NAS.

                          I just spun up a KDE neon Testing VM to try it out: For me, the Nextcloud login via Online Accounts is still broken. I cannot get beyond that page. clicking the buttton has no effect at all :/
                          And I don't have any native login box. Online Accounts just opens the provided URL...



                          Here the OwnCloud login process. I once again used my Nextcloud login for that.



                          On the next screen, I can select the WebDAV/Storage integration, CalDAV/CardDAV are missing, as already mentioned above:

                            Maybe it is the Nextcloud config?

                            Here is mine, a bone stock Nexcloud-AIO I spun up. This is what I have on my mothballed NAS.
                            This is from the current kaccounts tool, in KDE neon here:

                            I have not yet found much mention of how/why the Online Accounts tool is missing in Kubuntu24.10/plasma 6.1, but many of the bits for it seem to be there. Maybe I can poke acheron and get his input.
