I'm trying to develop javascript application which would allow user to select files from their Google drive,and then pass IDs of selected files to PHP backend and download them to my server.
For selecting files I'm using Google Picker, and I could use it normaly for a few days but suddenly It stopped to work. When i click and try to open Picker dialog, loadPicker() function pass without any error reported by firebug but i get only blank iframe. I have tested it on several computers with several various browsers, all with the same result
First I was thinking that I've put wrong API key, but every time I try to load picker that attempt is properly loged inGoogle API Console statistic pages, altrought every time i get just a blank screen. I have also tryed to make a new application an just copy/paste Google Picker hello world app source code from Google documentation, but I'm still getting just a blank page.
Any suggestions why this is happening? Is it possible that Google blocked Picker service for my account?
So as disscussed at google groups thread it was a bug on Google side, it should'nt happen anymore.
I've had that problem too, while the picker was working correctly few days ago. I found the reason : in the meantime i had to create a Service Account key for other purposes (access to Google Apps Script apis). Using the clientId of the Web Application Key was causing a picker window with title and buttons but "No files found" inside, while my folder parent Id didn't changed.... I replaced the clientId by the one of the Service Account key, and it solved the issue. Good intuition.
I recently had the same problem. I can't beleive I spent almost two hours trying to figure the issue. In case you've tried everything expect closing the developer tools, please do that.
The file picker won't show unless the developer tools is closed.

Hi!!
I am trying to upload a plugin, I have tried it several times in my personal environment and it works correctly, but when it passes the review for approval by google it gives me the following error. How can i fix that?
I created a simple Ticket Kiosk using Google App Maker. Everything was working great but now the user thumbnails are not showing up. Essentially, it uses the User Picker widget with a Directory database that pulls everyone in our g suite domain. It's still pulling all of the user data but the URL that it is pulling from the ThumbnailPhotoUrl field no longer comes up with an image. The URL is still exactly the same as it was when it was working so I don't think it's the code, but maybe something changes in G Suite? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks,
Dom
This was an issue between Google and our network. We were getting 404 errors when trying to pull up pictures from Hangouts as well. It resolved itself overnight.
I'm using multiple Google accounts. In one of them (not default) I created Google Spreadsheet file and I want to create Script connected to it. Nothing complicated. But the problem is that after clicking Tools > Script Editor I'm being redirected to default user or I see this screen:
The same problem I have when trying to use: script.google.com
What can I do to enable Script editor?
I know you asked this 9 months ago, but here is my solution;
Sign out of all google accounts except the owner of the spreadsheet
You can now access the scripts and macros pages (go there)
Create a bookmark of them (this saves which profile is logged in)
Now sign back into all your profiles
Voila!
You will be able to access the scripts or macros via the bookmarks without getting the error page.
This is a reported bug.
Go give it a ☆ if you want to let Google know that this affects you.
You can consider appending authuser=email to the URL to open the script with a specific Google account.
For example, script.google.com...?param=value&authuser=email#example.com
I was not able to reproduce the problem. Perhaps it's a glitch or there is something wrong that requires some troubleshooting techniques that are off-topic on this site.
As a workaround, for the account having problems, use another Google Chrome profile, Incognito mode, or another browser.
By the other hand, it's possible that there isn't any wrong and it's just something related to your specific scenario.
From Sign in to multiple accounts at once
Sometimes settings might carry over
If you're signed in to multiple accounts at the same time, sometimes we can't tell which
account you're using. For example, if you're signed in to two accounts
and you open a new browser window, we aren't sure which account you
want to use. In cases like these, Google might apply settings from
your default account, like its Web & App Activity and Ads
Personalization settings.
google's default account (the first one you sign on with) has to be the owner of the sheet
Based on #iansedano's answer, you can share the file with the default chrome user and open the same link in a new tab again to resolve the issue.
If someone needs a quick fix for this :
At the end of the url change the "authuser=1" by the index of the Google Account you want to log with. (0 is the first one, 1 is the second)

You can also open a new incognito window, paste your sheet url there (you'll need to authenticate). Then you can open Tools -> Script Editor
I'm following this article, trying to add a sharing dialog in a web app.
I got the button working in opening the modal popup, but it just prints this error in the console:
Refused to display 'https://drive.google.com/share?id=SOME_LONG_ID&foreignService=explorer&shareService=explorer&shareProtocolVersion=2&command=init&subapp=10&popupWindowsEnabled=true&shareUiType=default&rand=1386925457304&theme=2&client=postMessage&appId=MY_APP_ID&embedOrigin=http%3A%2F%2Fmy_app.appspot.com'
in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'.
And the modal itself just shows the message "Sorry, sharing is unavailable at this time. Please try again later."
For the checklist at the bottom of the article:
The user is signed in to Google True
The user has installed your app False How do I ask them to install?
The URL of the page that launches the dialog must have the same origin as the Open URL registered for the app. True
So I have 2 questions:
How do I ask them to install my app? It's supposed to be a web app, where there's 1 button to select Drive files via the Picker API (which is now working), and then another button which will sow this Drive sharing dialog to set the permissions of the selected files. There's no need for installation. Will it work for this setup?
What should be the value for the APP_ID? I'm guessing it's the ID in the "Drive SDK" section of the Cloud Console? The console is so confusing and there's so many values for keys, ids, etc. that I have no idea which to use. Here's a screenshot of what I mean by the ID and what I'm trying to use.
(1) Installing means you have to get the user to accept the drive.install scope - instructions here. This will integrate your app with the "open with" menu in Google Drive. But before that can work you will need to tell the Google Cloud Console what url to go to when the user clicks "open" - more instructions. In your case, since you don't actually want to allow the user to open files from Drive you won't be defining any file types, so in reality there won't actually be any visible integration with Drive.
Note that the share dialog will only work on the one page which has the url you specify as the target for "open" (the instructions say this and from experience it seems to be true).
(2) Client ID You can find this in the Google Cloud Console - see above. Mine is a 12 digit number, so yours will probably be too.
I had the same problem. The iFrame error shows up when you call setItemIds if your app_id is wrong. No idea why. Anyway, it started working for me when I used the right app_id -- the one that shows up like in your screenshot.
At some point in the last couple of days a bug seems to have materialised in my app's Google Drive integration, despite me not having changed anything, and usage remaining fairly constant.
When you left click one of the app's documents in Drive a new about:blank tab opens showing the app's icon and the text "Sorry, an error occurred while opening this file. Please try again. [XXXXX]" where [XXXXX] is a short string that seems to be different every time. The create new works fine, and if you use the right-click menu and open with it also works fine.
All of this makes me think that there is a bug in the latest javascript update to Google Drive's main interface.
In terms of debugging, in the apiconsole the app has...
The initiate oauth2 option unchecked
The allow multiple files option unchecked
Mobile browser support checked
24 mime-types, 61 primary extensions, and 1 secondary extension registered
If it is a bug as Claudio has mentioned, I believe Google Drive SDK documentation needs to be updated too, since 'open' action is described only for "Open With" option:
https://developers.google.com/drive/integrate-open
I'm wondering how to trigger the proper action when registred mime-type can be managed by more than one installed application? Is there a way to set the default open action - or the application which created it will be used as the default? What's happen if you reach the application web by typing the url (not from UI Drive UI create action) and save the content on Drive, since you may be already authorized to do it?
