After allowing less secure apps in my google account security settings (https://myaccount.google.com/security#connectedapps), I was able to save a writer document on my google drive by only providing e-mail address and password.
However I tested with another account with 2FA enabled, and I'm still getting the prompt to enter a 6-digit PIN code, but I'm not receiving any code via SMS on my phone as I would expect. ** Bug watch added: Document Foundation Bugzilla #101630 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101630 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754400 Title: "General input/output error" when attempting to save a document to google drive Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: (bug initially reported upstream, but apparently only affects ubuntu: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97898) Steps to reproduce: - start a document in libreoffice writer - menu File > Save Remoteā¦ - use the "Add Service" button to configure an existing google account (not one using 2FA, that's not implemented yet) Expected result: the document is saved on your google drive Current result: an error dialog box that reads: "Error saving the document Untitled 1: General input/output error."
