Google blocks login when adding Google account via KDE Online Accounts
Hello,
I recently switched to KDE Plasma on Ubuntu specifically because of its
built-in Online Accounts feature, which allows for Google Drive integration
directly in the file manager (Dolphin). My work depends heavily on accessing
and syncing files with Google Drive on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, when I try to add my Google account through System Settings →
Online Accounts, the login process is blocked by Google, which flags it as a
suspicious or insecure login attempt. As a result, I cannot connect my account
or access Google Drive at all through the desktop.
This issue is critical for users like me who rely on this integration
professionally. I suspect the problem is caused by the absence of a verified or
registered OAuth client ID for KDE with Google.
Please consider:
- Registering KDE’s Google integration as a verified OAuth application
- Or allowing users to enter their own Google API credentials
- Or providing alternative login flows compatible with Google's new OAuth
restrictions
Thank you for your time and your work on KDE.
