Re: [Duplicity-talk] Deprecation of pydrivebackend

[edgar . soldin]

hey William,

just found "Create a project, and make sure Drive API is enabled for the project." in the 
man page text in the "To use a service account, ..." paragraph. sorry that i missed it 
before.

still, the general suggestion stands. try to follow the documented steps, even 
if they seem complicated. they in no way create a new Google Drive account or 
delete your data. what they do is add additional credentials to your existing 
account that allow apps like duplicity to access it.

sunny regards.. ede
