Uploading files to Google Docs fails

[Alexander]

Hello!

I'm evaluating SFFS as a possible universal backup solution. In addition to local backup, I want it to backup certain folders to Google Docs account (I have a paid account with 80 Gb storage). AFAIK Google Docs supports storing files of any type, not only those editable/viewable in Google apps.

However, when I place files not supported by Google apps (e.g. a ZIP archive or EXE) in the source folder, they do not get copied to Google Docs. Log files contain the following errors:
Error uploading to Google storage (403): Files must be uploaded using the resumable upload mechanism. at 00CF087D.Checkpoints: SPCSX/DCopy05t

Thanks in advance for any help with this problem. it is vital for me in making a decision whether to buy SFFS or not.

Hello,

Google Docs have changed their mechanisms in a way that is incompatible with existing applications.

The new mechanism has been implemented in version 6 of our software, which is currently available as a beta release from http://www.superflexible.com/downloadmore.htm.

Thanks for clarification. I'll give beta version a try.

Installed beta - everything works like a charm now! Thanks again.

P.S. I think Google Docs + SFFS may become a perfect Dropbox replacement. Far less expensive (e.g. for 100$/yr you get 400 Gb from Google & only 50 Gb from Dropbox). More storage available (up to 16 TB vs. only 100 Gb in Dropbox). And far more flexible thanks to SFFS!

Thanks!

I will put the new Google Docs support in the next 5.x update too.

Version 5.59 is now compatible again with Google Docs too.

Thanks again! I've bought Professional edition license just now.
