I just wanted to make a backup with Deja Dup, but before I could proceed I first needed let Deja Dup access my Google account.
Is it possible to skip this step? I dont need Deja Dup to access this because I only use an external HDD. From the UI of Deja Dup I cant seem to skip over it.. but maybe there are other ways to skip it
Greetings
this is my own answer after one year... I emailed the google-groups and I got this answer from Michael Terry

Hello and thanks for the report! I'm sorry Deja Dup is giving you a hassle.
That is not intentional - it should be possible to use Deja Dup without a Google account for sure. Google Drive is just the default storage location. But if you chose to back up to a USB drive, you shouldn't get prompted for your Google account.
If you go to the Preferences and choose your USB drive in the "Storage Location" part of the preferences, do you still get prompted for your Google account?

Hope this helps anyone that somehow missed that option!

I am trying to set up a data extract in BigQuery to pull data from a Google Ads Account. But I keep getting Auth errors (AuthenticationError.NOT_ADS_USER) when the extract tries starting pulling data.
<ApiError><type>AuthenticationError.NOT_ADS_USER</type><trigge
What did I do?-
Set up Big Query and the data extract (as depicted here: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery-transfer/docs/adwords-transfer)
Invited and added the same email address that big query is using to the Google Ads account with read access level (at first) and then standard access level when the problem persisted.
Is there something that I missed, that I have to enable/accept/configure in order for Big query extract to be able to pull the data from Google Ads?
Thanks,
p.s I have another extract in the same big query account with a different Google Ads account that is working, I recall have followed the same steps.
I would recommend to remove and add the user account that you are using to access Google Ads. It's usually related to permissions related issue. Have you followed the steps mentioned here?
https://cloud.google.com/bigquery-transfer/docs/adwords-transfer#required_permissions
If yes, try remove and add again as suggested on both Google Ads and GCP. If it's not working, try creating a case with Google Cloud support team if you have that service enabled if not your marketing folks might have connections with Google to help you out.
We are planning a lecture series of machine learning and is trying to show some easy examples using Google Colab. However, some of the target audience is not that familiar computer or programming stuff, and we want to make it as easy as possible.
I'm wondering is it a must for everyone to have a Gmail account to view the examples in Colab? Or is there anything similar to using a 'group access' that we can set up a guest account?
Thank you very much!
Users can view notebooks shared publicly without sign-in.
In order to execute code, a Google account sign-in is required. Instructions to create an account are here.
Yes, in 2023 it is necessary to have a Google account. Just sharing the link is not working anymore. Because I had this issue I moved to binder. The setup is more difficult since all is backed by a public GitHub page and hence works only with public data.
I have a large number of photo albums on Google Plus. I am looking for an efficient way to download them. Had I put them on Google Drive, I could have used skicka, which has a few annoyances but overall works very well.
I'm looking for a similar command-line style interface that will allow me to download an album at a time in a more scriptable way than just going through and clicking all the links in Google Plus.
Does anyone know if a tool like this exists? If I could make my Google Plus photos appear in Google Drive this wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately that doesn't appear to be possible.
You can change a setting in Goggle Drive and still use skicka (as you suggested initially) to access the photos then.
How Google Drive works with Google Photos covers two interesting aspects:
View your Google Drive photos & videos in Google Photos
...
Organize your photos & videos into Google Drive folders
The 3rd section provides clear hints about how to make Google Photos appear inside My Drive as a folder. (The 2nd section is also supposed to describe this, but it's not useful for the automation we are looking for.)
Namely:
Go to .
Turn on the setting that creates a Google Photos folder in your "My Drive" folder (if you already turned this setting on, you can skip
this step).
On the right, click the "gear" icon > Settings.
Next to
"Automatically put your Google Photos into a folder in My Drive,"
check the box and then Done.
After this there is indeed such a folder in My Drive, and it accessible through skicka as well:
$ skicka ls /'Google Photos'/
shows all the photos. (And they must be downloadable, of course.)
(BTW, that's your question where I learned about skicka from, thanks a lot! Now I'm using it to upload directories with folders into Google Drive and Google Photos. It's a pity that the problem of creating albums with a tool or via Google Drive remains unsolved.)
Use Google Takeout to download them all at once. Just pick Google Photos and uncheck anything else that's there. I don't know of any other way to batch download them all.
Is there any API that can link Google Drive and Google Plus - to simplify the question, is it allowed for any circle member to see someone's files shared in Google Plus without any explicit uploader consents?
Also, when profile (such as about me) changes, does this change get shown to others without others entering someone's profile?
It depends on who you are sharing changes with, specifically which circles. From the faq regarding sharing Google drive documents:
Select a circle or type the name of individual people you'd like to share your post with.
A profile change is not broadcast to users (as far as I can tell), nor does it ask you to share.
I am building an Apple developer analytics app, which displays info stored in itunesconnect Daily Sales Reports. Thus I would like to automatically download these Daily Sales Reports (which I achieved by using this script). This app will be released on the Mac App Store and is sandboxed.
Am I allowed to ask for and store a user's itunesconnect password?
If so, what is the correct way to do it?
EDIT:
Thank you James and Michael, Keychain Services is definitely the way to go.
I do have one follow up question.
The answer is yes, thank you James and Michael, and the correct way to store it is with Keychain Services. I used an objective-c wrapper that you can find here.
Disregard my earlier comment, I misunderstood your question (I thought you were trying to access a database). If the user gives you the information willingly, there is not problem; the issues would arise if you tried to trick the users into giving you the information. As for the correct way to do this, you could just ask them to put in their password, giving them the ways you would use them. There would, however, possibly be legal issues down the road if you use the passwords in a different way then you tell the user.
