How to configure gdrive for deja-dup?

  • 772

Currently using Kubuntu 18.04. I am trying to set up deja-dup to backup my files to my Google Drive. I have already added my google accounts and can access my files on Google Drive through dolphin.

But I can't seem to select GDrive as my backup destination in deja-dup. Below is the error message I get.

deja-dup

kde kubuntu backup deja-dup google-drive
