JulesC 44 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) I'm trying to leverage this documentation for the Google Drive Plug-in, but it appears to be outdated, which makes it difficult/impossible (at least for me) to follow. https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001162194-google-drive Has anyone recently installed and configured the Google Drive Plug-in successfully? If so, can you please share your learning's or point me to the resource that you used. Thanks for your help. p.s to @@Luke - I'm sure you're juggling a lot of priorities to continually improve the Emby experience for us and we greatly appreciate all that you and your team are doing. I just wanted to bring this to your attention. UPDATE: I see from your February post (https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/81581-cant-add-google-drive-account/) that you’re aware of this and have plans to update this documentation. Do you have an ETA? Thank you Edited May 24, 2020 by JulesC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was going ok (so I hope) and then I hit this screen: Under "Create OAuth client ID" and select "Application Type", "Other" is NOT an option. Instead, the options are: Web application Android Chrome app iOS TVs and Limited Input devices Desktop app Universal Windows Platform (UWP) Which of these should I select since "Other" isn't an option?
