Google Colab - Google Drive can´t be mounted anymore - Browser Popup (Google Drive for Desktop) inst-CodePudding

Since yesterday I have had the problem that I can no longer mount my Google account. Normally, when I run it, I get a link to authorize myself with. Now, when the code is executed, an extra browser window is opened where I should authorize myself. But if I do it over it, it doesn't work. Do you know why it can be that this authorization link is suddenly no longer shown? Any security setting maybe? I've tried several browsers.

EDIT: With the new authorization popup it works if i mount the google drive from the same google account like colab. But the problem is that my main google drive is on another account than Google Colab. With the link it used to work without any problems earlier...

After the code execution and authorization with the new popup i get this error message on Google Colab:

MessageError Traceback (most recent call last) in () 1 #Connect Google Drive 2 from google.colab import drive ----> 3 drive.mount('/gdrive')

3 frames /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/google/colab/_message.py in read_reply_from_input(message_id, timeout_sec) 104 reply.get('colab_msg_id') == message_id): 105 if 'error' in reply: --> 106 raise MessageError(reply['error']) 107 return reply.get('data', None) 108

MessageError: Error: credential propagation was unsuccessful

I use this code:

#Connect Google Drive
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/gdrive')

Authorization popup instead of the link in the code output

This is a problem with Google Colab Pro. I have a Pro account as well as a normal account. My normal account works as intended (with the link) whereas my Pro account has the pop-up window that gives me the same error as OP.

I have faced this problem today. I think this can be a temporary solution for us:

!apt-get install -y -qq software-properties-common python-software-properties module-init-tools
!add-apt-repository -y ppa:alessandro-strada/ppa 2>&1 > /dev/null
!apt-get update -qq 2>&1 > /dev/null
!apt-get -y install -qq google-drive-ocamlfuse fuse
from google.colab import auth

from oauth2client.client import GoogleCredentials
creds = GoogleCredentials.get_application_default()

vcode = getpass.getpass()
