Sign-in fails with Error 400: invalid_request, OOB flow deprecated

[mjpieters]

You can no longer use gdrive about to sign in; you get a 400 error instead when you try to use the link.

The error message includes details for the developer:

Error 400: invalid_request

The out-of-band (OOB) flow has been blocked in order to keep users secure. Follow the Out-of-Band (OOB) flow migration guide linked in the developer docs below to migrate your app to an alternative method.

Request details: redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob

Related developer documentation

The linked developer information page indeed indicates that as of October 3 2022, the OOB flow has been disabled for clients created before February 28, 2022.

Considering the last release was in May of 2021, i'll find another solution, maybe rclone...
