I am having the same issue as @shakraz, when I try to use DVC commands related to the Google Drive on my ssh server. It is behind the OpenVPN and I assume, that this may cause this issue.

The only fix that works is the one suggested by @Min-Sheng here:

I think I find the problem. It is about port forwarding! Because I run DVC on my remote server via SSH, I need to forward my localhost 8080 port to remote server 8080 port.

In my case with the OpenVPN the command is:

ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 your-username@your-remote-name

@efiop My suggestion is that maybe making the old authorization method (with copying the code from the browser to the terminal) available again would be enough as a quick-fix. It may be enabled via an optional parameter. This would be sufficient in most vpn-based scenarios as the user would paste the code to the terminal with the open ssh session, which would be already behind the VPN.

For the record, docs are a bit outdated - I’ve created a PR - https://github.com/iterative/dvc.org/pull/3821/files

It doesn’t to Enter verification code now, it get’s from the browser since via web server that it creates.

Do you see the Authentication successful.?

@Min-Sheng So it is solved for you now?

Btw, to avoid port forwarding you might want to use a service account as noted in the docs. https://dvc.org/doc/user-guide/setup-google-drive-remote#setup-a-google-drive-dvc-remote @efiop Yes, I solved it with port forwarding.

Hey @Min-Sheng 😃 What error did you get? Did dvc push not work at all? Could you show full output of dvc push -v, please?

Hi @efiop and @shcheklein. Thanks for your concern!

For DVC version 2.13.0

For DVC version 2.15.0, I got the error:

ERROR: unexpected error - __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'google_auth'

@xihajun Sorry for a late response. As long as you update dvc along with corresponding pydrive2 version (e.g. make sure pip check is not complaining) - it should work fine.

@shakraz Please share more details about the error you are getting. There has been multiple things discussed in this ticket with different workaround solutions.

Thanks for all of this. May I kindly ask if we went back to version 2.11.0, will we still have the same issue?
