Stylus + GDrive / DBox / OneDrive Error

Getting This Error When Trying to Login to Google

I am having trouble signing into my Google Drive to sync my Sylus extension.

When I attempt to log in, it displays my correct accounts. However, when I click on one, it redirects me to a random website with gibberish followed by chromiumapp.org.

After some initial research, I found this thread discussing similar problems: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/60749/3-8-2259-32-google-login-and-password-on-startup/2

Has anybody found a solution?

I would really appreciate any help.

Version: 6.7.3329.39 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

It works as expected in Chrome, Brave, Edge, etc.

Hi, how do you login, from the Google Drive app?
I open Google.com, log in and then I can open Google Drive from there.

Hello. The login is a feature of the Stylus extension. It allows you to sign into Google Drive to sync its settings between devices.

This is what it looks like in a working browser:

I'm able to login to Google sites outside of this Vivaldi bug.

I'm able to use the Stylus sync just fine in every other Chromium browser.

@livejamie I'm not totally sure vivaldi is able to sync extension data to google drive but is indeed strange, cause is working with other chromiums for you...

//EDIT: Ok, can confirm it happens also here.

Edge seems to work, because it asks me for device authorization to sync after the gmail password:

.

@mib2berlin is a screen similar to the Mail Oauth2. But doesn't work for extensions, it seems.

OneDrive sync, on the other hand, seems to work fine even on vivaldi.

Thank you @Hadden89 for confirming.

Based on this thread, it seems to be a platform-agnostic bug related to the mail client.

Even though I have that turned off.

@livejamie I'm not sure you can still trust a such old thread (2021!). Also, I've mail enabled and screen still fails.
Btw, report if you will otherwise no-one from internal testers can really confirm it. Also link this thread

Done, thanks for your help.

I have the same issue with Stylus and Dropbox:

Hi, I confirmed your report.
@supermurs
Hi, The OP add your information to the report.

Cheers, mib

We may want to change the title of the thread as all three Cloud Sync Options fail: Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive

@mib2berlin I didn't want to overwrite your title change

@livejamie
Hi, I cant overwrite titles, only moderators can.

Cheers, mib

@livejamie, @mib2berlin, @supermurs I've had the same problem for a while. Here's a painful workaround.

On vivaldi 5.6.2867.50, signing into Stylus works. I'm not sure if newer versions allow it. That version was the last version extension access was permitted in web panels (before they recently allowed it again).

I keep an zipped version of that app locally. In case I accidentally sign out of stylus, I restore from that version, then update to the latest.

This process works. But...

It screws up the syncing — history specifically.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

My workaround has been keeping an exported setting file, which I import manually to another computer, when I make a change.
