Summary of the issue you are facing:

I’m having some problems, I’ve just installed Google Integration, so I can import photos into NextCloud. Setup Google Intregration and it all works for Google Drive, Contacts and Calendar. However when the Photos piece tries to connect I get a 403 Forbidden error message in a long message. It must be a permission problem, but I cannot find the problem.

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

Checked the API’s are correctly added.
Checked the scopes and added additional permissions to the Google account.

Log entries

Cannot see any error messages in the Nextcloud error log

All other parts of the Google Integration work, before playing with any permissions. So I’m confused and would appreciate any advice.

Many Thanks.

It’s not you, it’s the Google Integration App which is currently not compatible :slight_smile:

That’s a shame. Is there any other ways I can migrate about 200GB of photos into Nextcloud without using the browser interface?

Use «Google Takeout» to download all files/photos and then use the Nextcloud desktop Client to upload? :slight_smile:
