version 1.1.1

Introduction:

gDriveOOo is part of a Suite of LibreOffice and/or OpenOffice extensions allowing to offer you innovative services in these office suites.

This extension allows you to work in LibreOffice on your files on your phone (files that you have downloaded to your Android phone), even while offline.
It uses Google Drive API to synchronize your remote Google Drive files with the help of a local HsqlDB 2.7.2 database.
This extension is seen by LibreOffice as a Content Provider responding to the URL: vnd-google://*.

Being free software I encourage you:

In short, to participate in the development of this extension. Because it is together that we can make Free Software smarter.


Requirement:

The gDriveOOo extension uses the OAuth2OOo extension to work.
It must therefore meet the requirement of the OAuth2OOo extension.

The gDriveOOo extension uses the jdbcDriverOOo extension to work.
It must therefore meet the requirement of the jdbcDriverOOo extension.

On Linux and macOS the Python packages used by the extension, if already installed, may come from the system and therefore may not be up to date.
To ensure that your Python packages are up to date it is recommended to use the System Info option in the extension Options accessible by:
Tools -> Options -> Internet -> gDriveOOo -> View log -> System Info
If outdated packages appear, you can update them with the command:
pip install --upgrade <package-name>

For more information see: What has been done for version 1.1.0.


Installation:

It seems important that the file was not renamed when it was downloaded.
If necessary, rename it before installing it.

Restart LibreOffice after installation.
Be careful, restarting LibreOffice may not be enough.


Use:

Open your Google Drive:

In File -> Open enter in the first drop-down list:

or

And validate not by the Open button but by the Enter key.

If you don’t give your_account@gmail.com, you will be asked for…

Anonymous Urls allow you to remain anonymous (your account does not appear in the Url) while named Urls allow you to access several accounts simultaneously.

After authorizing the OAuth2OOo application to access your Drive files, your Google Drive should open!!! normally :wink:
