Description TraceyC 2025-08-12 20:14:35 UTC 
SUMMARY
There is a "Google Drive" folder in Dolphin - Places - Remote that will no longer work with Online Accounts due to KDE deprecating the GDrive permission in bug 480779
https://invent.kde.org/network/kaccounts-providers/-/merge_requests/44

We should hide this unless the user has a personal access token or other valid way of connecting to GDrive

Right now, if there is no GDrive set up, clicking on the folder brings up Online Accounts, which no longer can provide access to GDrive. This leads to a broken workflow and bad UX.

This is provided by the kio-gdrive project: https://invent.kde.org/network/kio-gdrive

The problem is that this project is basically pointless now. I guess we should either archive it and tell distros to uninstall it (if we think Google Drive access will be blocked forever), or change its code to not do anything (if we think Google Drive access will be restored at some point in the future).
