Reload error on every single save to Google Drive

Doug Girard · Jun 10, 2020, 12:20 PM

Recently, I’ve been getting this Reload error every time I make a change and try to save a file on Google Drive: “This file has been modified by another program. Do you want to reload it?” I tried disabling File Status Autodetection, but I still get the error on saves. I am using the following versions:

Notepad++: Version 7.8.7 (x64)
OS: Windows 10
Google Drive: 39.0.10.0

Any ideas? Where can I submit this as a bug?

As 7.8.7 is super-new, you might want to clarify your “recently” statement. Was this also happening on 7.8.6 for you?

Those are fairly old issues, considering the OP said “recently”.
But…OP could have recently updated to 7.8.7 from a much older version where things were working just peachy with his Google Drive.

Perhaps my own experience HERE is similar to the OP’s ?

I have no experience with this kind of setup.
I do own a gmail account, does that mean I do have access to Google Drive (GDFS??) ?
Is there something I need to install to test this?

I believe you download the client from google.com/drive/download , and should be able to log in using your gmail credentials.

It seems it isn’t that easy. My mail account has not sufficient permissions.

This problem appeared in the 7.8.6 version, but not in any before.

Google Drive is a paid service for businesses. Ekopalypse, are you a NPP developer? If so, I can create a temp account on my domain for you so that you can download Drive and have a username to log in with (for debugging purposes). Can you email me at doug.girard@gmail.com ?

Thank you for the offer but no, I’m not a npp dev.
