ok, I tried it, but while this time it seems to work (in the sense that it created the needed directories in Gdrive), it seems to be screwing up the syncing of books - and in addition, I cannot logout from the ereader. Is this a know issue? Also, the auth.txt file has disappeared after the first connection, is this normal?

It's normal. Grive doesn't anymore need it after successful synchronization. |

Thanks spmatti - I had to uninstall it, as after a good hour it was still not syncing my books, and many of them had simply disappeared

No real problem though as it's more for emergency book downloads. |

Hi !
Thanks for the script. I'm encountering a problem while installing it on a Kobo Glo : it seems it can't reach the google authentification server. The README is generated without the auth codes, and the last-grive-sync states ping: bad address 'www.google.com' and then usr/local/grive-sync/sync.sh: Synchronization error. Am I missing something in the installation process ? |

After an update to 2.6.1 I get also sync error and it isn't working at all - even if I do the update after the succesful setup process. Fortunately I do not get 2.6.1 automaticly so I was able to try it with both versions. |

I'm on 2.6.1 (Bought the Kobo yesterday, let it download every update he wanted before I started using it)
Is there a way to downgrade it to 2.5 (and is it wise or is 2.6 really useful) ? |

Mine also bought just 2 days before yours came with 2.5 and when I do a factory reset will go back to this version. If you search for kobo firmware you will find also older versions. Regards |

If you search, this has been discussed. Generally you can. But, it is recommended that you do a factory reset and connect to the PC for the setup. This will copy the latest firmware to the device. When that is finished, remove the firmware files and replace them with firmware you want to use. I have done this a couple of time without issue and have never heard of a problem doing this.

In this special case, namely downgrading form 2.6.1, you should definitely factory reset in order to avoid problems. I think the problems are somehow related to the bin and sbin directories.
