Compatibility of SBPro V10 / V11 with Google Drive / Photos

Post by waffles »

I understand that some time ago Google changed authorization to their APIs.
I was wondering if SBPro V10 still works with Google Drive and Photos.
The same question applies to SBPro V11. The product comparison page says it does: https://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/compare.html

Background: I have been trying to get my V10 to work, but thus far had no luck. With a trial version of V11 and following this https://www.2brightsparks.com/resources/articles/google-drive-oauth.html I have been able to access my GDrive. However, with GPhotos I am still getting a "Failed to scan files: Internal Error: ScanTree exception: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden (Google Photos)".

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Support for Google Photos has been discontinued since April 2025. You can read more about it in this newsletter:
https://www.2brightsparks.com/resources ... -2025.html

Regarding Google Drive, as you've found out already you will need V11 to access it.

Thanks,
Kostas

(Sorry for the late reply, only saw this just now when I checked the forum, as I has expected some kind of post notification.)

Bummer, but thanks for clarifying, @Kostas.
