EXPECTED RESULT Google Photos album list to populate, ability to upload photos, etc. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: 6.7.6, arch ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If I click export, there's a different error saying authentication failed. Also, if I check in my google account, digiKam doesn't show up in the list of 3rd party apps connected, even though there was no error message during the authentication process.
It must be fixed in 8.3.0. You can try the pre-release bundle here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/
For various reasons we changed our Google API key. Google services only work again from digiKam-8.3.0 and higher. Maik
I Have this issue with 8.4 in Windows 10 as well
We had to change the Google API key again, it is still deactivated. Continue with Bug 490397. Maik
