Google Drive Plugin - full access from android device

Question

Hello,

I'm using the "Google Drive for Unity3D plugin" from the forum. What I want to do is, that the user can upload a file with $$anonymous$$s browser on $$anonymous$$s pc to Google Drive. Then I want to download t$$anonymous$$s file on an android tablet.

I t$$anonymous$$nk that means that the App needs full access to google drive. Therefore I added the scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive" in "GoogleDriveAuthorization.cs". In the Edtior everyt$$anonymous$$ng works fine and I can download the uploaded files.

But on a real android device it doesn't work. The initialization/authorization works. It's also possible to upload and download a text file w$$anonymous$$ch has been created by the app (like in the sample code). But if I search for the other files, w$$anonymous$$ch have been uploaded with the browser, not$$anonymous$$ng is found.

My assumption is that my app hasn't got full access to Google Drive and beacause of t$$anonymous$$s the files w$$anonymous$$ch haven't been created by the app, can't be found.

What do you t$$anonymous$$nk? How can I solve t$$anonymous$$s?

I found a solution. Thanks to "midworld" for the help!

Android doesn't use web browser based method for authorization. You have to modify the plugin itself.

Go to the file "unity-googledrive / NativePlugins / Android / GoogleDrivePlugin / src / com / studio272 / googledriveplugin / GoogleDrivePlugin.java"

Here you can modify the permissions:

 credential = GoogleAccountCredential.usingOAuth2(activity,
 "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file",
 "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata");

Replace the new "googledriveplugin.jar" in "unity-googledrive / Assets / Plugins / Android" and it should work.

Maybe it helps, if some has the same problem :)

I tried what you described above but I am still having trouble getting all my files on Android. With logcat I was able to see that I was authenticated with the correct "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.Drive@" scope, however it doesn't return any files. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

Actually t$$anonymous$$s definitely works. My problem was that my query string was too long. It was giving me correct a response without any of the files.
