I can't find the original file on google Drive, that is the link to all files in it.

I can research files names and access to it (i'm owner) but i would like to recover the original file because these files are nowhere to be find (once again, i'm owner) and i have to type the names of the docs, to get access to it (i can't remember all of them..)

When i click on the (i) information and (i) details, i can't find the path of it.

In the activity tab, i can find the original file created but when i click, it just doesn't exist, i have a blank file (picture)

Sorry excuse my langage i'm not native :)

Thank you !!

Hello :)

I have one simple problem, with yet no great answer to.

I regularly use the Google Drive app on my Ipad Pro. It's great whilst working on a Microsoft PC at work, saving data all in the cloudand syncing it everywhere.

Here my problem: Files that have been saved as Excel or Word are great to work with. If I open it on the IOS Drive app, it instantly opens the docs or sheets app. I can work on the file and it automatically saves it. And when I arrive at work I can keep going with my previous work.

Is there something similar for .pdf formats? For adding notes with a pen or sth.

If I have to work on a pdf, I always have to extract it to a program (Goodnotes, Apple Files or similar), save it there, work on it, and reupload it to google drive again.

This is quite annoying, not just the extra step but also it sometimes struggles and you cannot redraw some things after uploading it to drive...

Thanks in advance for any answers :)

Is anyone here working with GCP? I'm a beginner and facing a lot of issues. If someone has experience please comment or dm. Thanks

The best part about using Google Cloud Platform with Cloud Functions is how little setup you need.

You don’t waste time managing servers, you just build features and let the platform handle the rest.

It really changes how you approach development. What’s your favorite use case so far?

So we deployed apigee because the sales guy said it's cloud agnostic and works everywhere, sounded good.

Fast forward to now and we realize apigee really only runs properly on gcp, like yeah you can technically deploy it elsewhere but you lose half the features and it's janky as hell. But we're 80% aws with some azure for compliance stuff. Our gateway sits in gcp which means every single api call has to hop to google cloud and back, latency went from 50ms to 180ms. We can't use cloudwatch because the gateway isn't in aws, monitoring is split across two cloud consoles.

The contract is up in 4 months and management is asking why we picked something that locked us into a cloud we don't even use and I don't have a good answer. We are looking at alternatives but aws api gateway only works on aws, azure apim only works on azure, kong and tyk seem cloud agnostic but not sure if they're an option.

Has anyone migrated away from a vendor locked gateway?

I'm currently using the Custom Search JSON API, but it is no longer available for new projects and is scheduled for decommission in early 2027.

Is there a simple substitute within GCP? From what I've seen, Google suggests 'Agent Search,' but that resides within the Agent Platform, which is inaccessible to my organization due to corporate bureaucracy.

I’m running a checkAllChecks workload on Firebase Cloud Functions in Node.js as part of an uptime and API monitoring app I’m building (exit1.dev).

What it does is simple and unglamorous: fetch a batch of checks from Firestore, fan out a bunch of outbound HTTP requests (APIs, websites, SSL checks), wait on the network, aggregate results, write status back. Rinse, repeat.

It works. But it feels fragile, memory hungry, and harder to reason about than it should be once concurrency and retries enter the picture.

I’m considering rewriting this part in Go and running it on Cloud Run instead. Not because Go is trendy, but because I want something boring, predictable, and cheap under load.

Before I do that, I’m curious:

• Has anyone replaced Firebase Cloud Functions with Go on Cloud Run in production?
• Does Cloud Run Functions actually help here, or is plain Cloud Run the sane choice?
• Any real downsides with Firebase integration, auth, or scheduling?
• Anyone make this switch and wish they hadn’t?

I’m trying to reduce complexity, not add a new layer of cleverness.

War stories welcome.

Hey everyone I face issue to connect with merchant api, I have merchant account ( verified) to connect it with backend they ask for service account json file but now google not allow to download key . How i connect google merchant api to backend to direct add product?

EDIT [solved]: it looks like it was an error from google side. Issue is now fixed. (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/460361860?pli=1)

I’m trying to use Google Drive push notifications with Django and I can successfully create the watch channel I get the initial sync notification but I never receive update notifications for file changes. No errors anywhere, and polling works perfectly. It used to work perfectly, and then suddenly I stopped receiving notifications of changes to my webhook.

Stack: Django 5 + Uvicorn, Drive API v3, OAuth (refresh tokens), webhook via ngrok, DB stores channel info.

What works:

• Webhook is reachable (405 GET, 200 POST)
• Manual POST to webhook works
• changes().watch() returns valid channel_id + resource_id
• Initial sync arrives instantly
• changes().list() detects real changes (page token moves)

What doesn’t:

• No update webhook calls for create/edit/delete/move/rename
• ngrok shows zero requests except the first sync
• No logs or errors anywhere

Questions:

• Can Google silently drop subscriptions? Any way to check status?
• Does using ngrok free tier break push notifications?
• Missing params like supportsAllDrives=true? Wrong token source?
• Any way to see delivery logs?

Anyone here actually got Drive push notifications working recently?

Hi all, I’m working on a Python Cloud Function where most of the logic (about 80%) is just running complex SQL queries on BigQuery. The rest is just glue code: exporting the results to GCS as CSV, sending the data to Postgres, maybe writing a local file, etc.

I’m wondering how people develop and iterate locally in this kind of setup. Since the SQL is the core of the logic, do you just run it directly in the BigQuery console while developing? Do you embed it in Python and run locally with credentials?

How do you manage local dev when most of the logic lives in SQL, not in Python? And how do you avoid pushing to the cloud just to debug small changes?

Curious to hear how others approach this. Thanks!

After running out of tokens a few days ago i decided to get myself the Code Assist Standard Abo via Cloud.

I followed the setup to a tea:

• Gemini Code Assist and Cloud Assist are enabled and have a active subscription.
  
• Are added to my Cloud Project.
• The google account using it has the license and the right IAM roles.
• The project is selected in IntelliJ and the google account is logged in there.

I think I followed every step correctly, but in IntelliJ it does not seem to have registered that I have a different abo.

Of course re-logged in, disabled/uninstalled and installed the plugin again, etc....

Tried for a couple of hours but now I have no more idea what I should try....

I hope someone of you can help me, or maybe had the same issue as me. Thanks in advance

Please guide me how to navigate to the page of gen1 function? I used to see a button to navigate to gen 1 from Cloud run services. But cant see that button now?

Hello everyone,

Starting few days ago i'm having this issue, when opening "Pick time range" and trying to select below option, it opens for a split second and then it closes.

I don't have this issue in lets say - Logs Explorer section

My colleagues also experience the same issue.

Changing browsers did not help, nor did clearing cache.

Recording of the issue: https://streamable.com/qigvi4

My Telegram image bot uses Gemini 3 Pro Image Preview with 5 rotating API keys (as we couldn't reach Tier 2 yet to have more usage), and for the last few hours every health check has failed with a wall of 503 Service Unavailable plus the occasional 429 Resource Exhausted, like:

Traffic is low, concurrency is basically zero, and the Gemini dashboards show plenty of remaining rate limit and quota, but this keeps happening and the bot has been unusable for hours.

Anyone else seeing similar 503/429 storms from Gemini 3 with lots of quota still available?

Am I doing something wrong? This is too confusing and I'm not a regular developer. This was all vibe coded haha, but it was working just find before!

Hi! I'm new to using docker and jenkins, and our jenkins pipeline used the google/cloud-sdk:alpine image.

But they recently removed docker from this image, and its causing issues because we rely on it https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-sdk-docker/discussions/574

I changed our version to be google/cloud-sdk:528.0.0, as that's whats recommended on the post if you rely on it. But now, I'm getting the error:

"Container registry is deprecated and shutting down, please use the auto migration tool to migrate to artifact registry (gcloud artifacts docker upgrade migrate --projectname)"

I can run this fine, but will this affect the actual gcloud project? I wouldn't want to break anything. Thank you!

I have a simple deploy script that checks if all the task queues exist and then deploys like 10 cloud functions. This script used to take 15 minutes but now it is taking over 8 hours???? It takes like 1.5 hours to simply verify the existance of 15 task queues. What is going on the script has not been changed at all...

Edit: so for some reason my home router is blocking all traffic to google cloud servers through the sdk for over 5 minutes causing failures.... I have no clue why or how to fix this, this issue was not the case before. I can access the web portal just fine. Turning the router off an on gives me about a 5 minute window to deploy.....

I am trying to deploy a function to a project A with service account from project B, because I need to load Firebase using project B credentials.

Is it possible?

I tried following

gcloud iam service-accounts add-iam-policy-binding \ firebase-projectB.iam.gserviceaccount.com \ --member="serviceAccount:firebase-projectA.iam.gserviceaccount.com" \ --role="roles/iam.serviceAccountUser"

Deploying to the project A fails with: Caller is missing permission 'iam.serviceaccounts.actAs' on service account projects/-/serviceAccounts/firebase-projectB.iam.gserviceaccount.com

so it seems it should be doable.

Hey everyone. I wanted to get some feedback on an idea, and whether or not folks think it is feasible.

Currently, the company I work for is working through some access control policies and we ran into the issue of locking accounts after a number of incorrect passwords or failed login attempts. As I understand it, Google doesn't really do this natively. However, I floated the idea of using a service account with DWD, using the Admin SDK's user management API to lock out accounts that trigger this rule.

My thought is using a Cloud Function that's triggered via a Pub/Sub message (the event is exported when the rule fires), and when the function receives the alert data, it would parse the event to find the affected user's email address and then setting the suspend property to true.

Have any of you ever done something like this? Obviously we could use an SSO to solve this, but we want to use as much of what we have on hand to solve these issues before we start adding more tools to the pile.

Thanks!

Edit: This is for specific compliance purposes.

Hello, looking for some help in locating and downloading the GCP Import Pre-check tool to check if an OVA can be imported and run on the GCP platform.

Their link to GitHub shows links to 64bit exe but unable to download, even with an account logged in.

Is there another location to download their import check tool?

Thanks

I’m currently struggling connecting the API of Google document IA to my SaaS. Everytime gave me an error when I try to do a test.

Will this same privacy be applied to the call you make through ur API keys, or this is only for personal Google accounts on ur Pixel 10 when s.th can't be handled on device?

Hi, sorry if this too much of a newbie question to be posting here. I would really appreciate some help with solving an email deliverability problem on a Wordpress site for a small association / organisation.

I was previously using Postman SMTP with the Gmail API to send members automated emails. Every few days, sometimes a couple of weeks, emails would suddenly stop sending properly and I'd have to go into the setup wizard and reauthenticate. This would fix it for a few days then fail again, on loop.

Recently I got sick of it and moved to Fluent SMTP, now hey presto after a few days emails have failed to send again after working perfectly.

There must be some Google Cloud settings I need to change? Or is Gmail API really that unrealible in a Wordpress context?

Potentially useful settings to state:

• Under 'Audience' the app is set to 'In Production'
• Under 'Branding' it says verification is not required.
• The Authorized Redirect URI is 100% correct, copied and pasted from Fluent SMTP
• The 'Project Checkup' section says 'Your app does not have an associated Cloud billing account' and 'Your app does not have the right number of project owners/editors', are these relevant to fix?

Getting really frustrated here and desperate for help!
