    <p>I'm having some seriously weird issues with the Google Drive API. </p> <p>Bear with me here, there's a lot to explain. </p> <p>I originally got the API working using one of my Google accounts -- let's call it <code>test@google.com</code> for simplicity. I got the Google Picker UI working and it correctly displays the list of files in my Drive account.</p> <p>I set it to my APP_ID and I have some server-side logic that uses the official <code>google-ruby-api-client</code> gem to connect to the Drive API using the <code>drive.files.get</code> endpoint. I can then download the file's metadata using this snippet:</p> <pre><code>require 'google/api_client' client = Google::APIClient.new # client ID and secret from Google APIs Console client.authorization.client_id = "{CLIENT_ID}" client.authorization.client_secret = "{SECRET}" client.authorization.redirect_uri = "http://myapp.com/users/auth/gdrive" # access token stored in database from oauth2 flow client.authorization.access_token = "TOKEN" client.authorization.scope = [ "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile" ] result = client.execute!( :api_method =&gt; 'drive.files.get', :version =&gt; 'v2', :parameters =&gt; { 'fileId' =&gt; params[:file_id] }) </code></pre> <p>With the <code>test@google.com</code> account I tried this on, the result comes back with the file's metadata, and I'm able to download the file. All peachy.</p> <p>The problem comes when I use a <em>different</em> Google account. I can access the files in Picker, but when the request is sent to the server with the <code>fileId</code> using the above, I just keep getting a 404 error, saying that the file doesn't exist. I've also tried to access the file's metadata using the OAuth 2.0 Playground provided by google, but the weird thing is that I still get that error, but I also get the same 404 error when I use the <code>test@google.com</code> account.</p> <p>The only thing I can really think of is that I submitted a version of my app with all the Google Drive details once, and installed the app via the Chrome Webstore. After I realized it was showing up for everyone as a Drive-enabled app, I promptly removed it and changed the manifest.json file back to its normal, non-Drive enabled state. I did read that you should have the app installed via the Chrome Webstore to work properly, but I also read that that's not the case anymore. Are your installed Chrome Webstore apps stored in Google's cloud somewhere so they know that it was installed for a particular account? Or are webstore apps just installed locally? I'm so confused.</p> <p>What am I missing here? I haven't been this frustrated with an API in a really long time. Please help!</p>

    1. COIs there any chance that your AppId is tied to your user account in some specific way? Do you need to pass some hurdles before it works "for everyone"?

    2. COI don't think so -- not from what I can glean from the Google APIs console anyway. There are two developers under the Team section, and only my account can be accessed.

    3. COCould you be perhaps using the wrong account for the picker API? If you are multiply logged in with the same browser this could happen.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
