The command python /opt/thefanclub/overgrive/overgrive results in this output:

Even with the last version. I tried to comment on the same issue on other question but it seems that I do not have enough "reputation" for it.

I tried sudo pip2 install --upgrade google-api-python-client but it says:

You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 8.1.2 is available.

But if I try pip install --upgrade pip, it says:

Requirement already up-to-date: pip in ./.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

I got in contact with thefanclub and Christiaan Diedericks kindly answered with a solution that actually works! It is as follows:

Make sure you use the latest version 3.2.3 from our website : https://www.thefanclub.co.za/overgrive

Clear all trashed files from your Google Drive online Trash/Bin folder.

Delete the following files from your local Google Drive folder restart the program.

  • .overgrive.cache
  • .overgrive.auth

You will find the setup screen again. Do the setup and click "Start Sync"

It does not download all the files again. It just "checks" every file and rebuilds the local cache file. It takes time, but no files will be downloaded if they exist already.

You have to wait for the sync to complete before making any changes.

NOTE: the local Google Drive Folder is the folder where the files are synchronized by Overgrive. In this file the option HIDDEN FILES must be enabled, only with this option enabled the files overgrive.cache and overgrive.auth are visibles for to be deleted.
