Google Drive sync setup
Hi there, blot was able to automatically create a root folder for my blog but no other contents were added. I created a folder for Posts and upload a markdown file to test. Still, nothing is showing up in prod nor is the .md file getting recognized in blot's > sync view. Please advise, thanks! https://hcde.blot.im/
The "fix your folder" link isn't working and the syncing is not happening
Any idea to why that is happening? I've been away from my blot recently, but started using again and am noticing that 1) the reset button doesn't work, 2) the sync is not happening (or seems stuck) and 3) i'm not allowed to choose the folder on google drive anymore?
Too Many Redirects
Hey friends, I'm attempting to transfer my site from Dropbox to Google Drive — Each time I make it through the Google authentication and receive an email from Google confirming that the sign-in was successful, but instead of being redirected to Blot, I get a 'Too many HTTP redirects' error page. I have tried clearing my cache and have tried using multiple browsers. This appears to be an issue on the Blot end. Blot now thinks I am connected to Google Drive, but none of my files have been transferred across, and all file links on my website are broken. Any suggestions? :)
Why can't I connect to Dropbox or Google Drive?
I just signed up and I cannot get Dropbox or Google Drive to connect. It gives me an error on both as soon as I try to connect.
Constant error with Google Drive setup
Even with clearing cookies etc. different browsers, flushed DNS and router restarts
Image Post Won't Disappear (Google Drive)
An image post was automatically generated when I dragged an image into my Google Drive. It never goes away even though the image file has been removed from Google Drive. I'm wondering how to fix this and prevent this from happening. Could we have a button to purge the cache or notify the CDN to delete our stuff immediately? It's kind of annoying and sometimes troublesome to fail to delete inappropriate content immediately. I've sent emails to customer service but think others might have come across the same issue, so I'm also posting it here. I sincerely hope that the site can truly reflect the file structures on our cloud storage in real time. If a file is already removed from our end, it should not stay on the site for hours or days. Better yet, we could be allowed to delete files directly from dashboard since Blot keeps a copy of data on its server. It's not really a good experience to be unable to delete unwanted data at the user's discretion. Also, I think it would be better if Blot could automatically post an image or file only when its name starts with an underscore. Most of the time users don’t just hope to post an image with a default caption “image” and a default title “image.” Automatic posting doesn’t make much pragmatic sense. It may even create problems when a file is unintentionally uploaded to the cloud drive, considering that it may stay live for an indefinite amount of time. What's more, I can't switch to DropBox. Upon authorization it says ":( Error"
