Google Drive takes a very long time to open with GNOME Online Accounts












5














Following this answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/320333/719469, I added Google to my GNOME accounts but when I click on my Drive account id in Nautilus, it does not show any file and in the bottom right corner it keeps on loading till 5-7 minutes.



I tried adding a new file when the loading process finally stopped, it synced and uploaded perfectly.




But when I navigate to a different directory after a few minutes (not immediately) and
again try opening the drive directory, it starts the super slow
loading process again




I know this can be overcome be working on a different Nautilus tab or window while keeping the Drive open. But it is really inconvenient to wait so much if I close that tab/window by mistake or reboot my PC.



Loading takes place for 5-7 minutes



A lot of times I get these messages too:







Please note that I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and have a fast, working internet connection but am still experiencing this. I currently have around 2.5 GB data on my Drive, is it normal to experience a waiting time of 5-7 minutes for each time I open the directory or is there any workaround?

  • I have a fast internet connection and all GNOME services (GNOME online accounts, and Evolution) which interact with the Google apis are extremely slow for me, to the point where things just time out entirely. It has been this way for as long as I've ever tried it, over a year for sure. I don't know what it is that is causing this, and I haven't found any solutions.
