Using the default (apt) deja-dup with the online accoutns in ubuntu 18.04.
I found out a workaround for this. If you keep the session open manually by 
reading a file over and over you can reset the timer described here: 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues/360

Basically after keeping a session open on only a specific folder, there
is a limit of 100 access things (reads, writes, etc.) and then the
connection stales.

While the backup is running in the background, you have to manually
browse the root of the google drive in nautilus every 5-10 minutes (file
explorer) and reset that counter. You might get some errors like
authentication failed but keep refreshing the root folder till you're
able to browse files again. It finally completed my backup. This looks
so easy to fix in the code tough and not sure why no one picked this up
to fix this earlier.

Title:
  Authentication error with google drive

Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I'm having an issue using deja-dup to back up my laptop to my google
  drive.

  When backing only a small folder (eg: ~/Documents) every thing works fine.
  However when trying to backup my whole home folder (/home/myusername) I get 
an "Invalid credentials" error after 5-10 min.

  The back up seems to start normally and my destination folder starts
  filling with "duplicity-full...difftar.gz" files, but eventually I get
  the Invalid Credentials error.

  
  lsb_release -d
  Fedora release 27 (Twenty Seven)

  rpm -q deja-dup duplicity
  deja-dup-37.1-1.fc27.x86_64
  duplicity-0.7.16-1.fc27.x86_64

  deja-dup.log attached.
  I cannot attach deja-dup.gsettings since i can only join 1 file. Will send if 
needed.
