How to upload videos to Google Drive from Bionic Puppy? (Solved)

Post by Tippe »

Hi.

When uploading a video to google drive using my smartphone, I can find the video inside the google drive app.
But when using Bionic Puppy 64bit I can't find it in my google drive account.

What am I doing wrong?

This is the only option to get files from my smartphone to my computer, as it is not recognized by Bionic Puppy 64.

Thanks

I assume you mean Bionic Puppy can't see your smart phone. How are you connecting your smart phone to the computer?
Have you tried connecting a flash drive directly to the smart phone?

Yes, the computer doesn't see the smartphone.
It is connected to the computer via its USB-C cable.

On the old phone a popup-window gave me option to choose to charge battery only or to transfer also files.
Nothing happens on the new phone. Even PupMTP doesn't find it.

However, when I was booting the new smartphone first time and setting everything up,
it detected the WLAN of my Fritz!Box. So, I set it up to be able to use it.

Now, in GoogleDrive app I discovered a revert download button near the video.
So, I thought it must be the upload button.
Then there I found a message with a colored flashing bar: waiting for wlan.

After I switched WLAN to on, on the phone, upload to GoogleDrive started immediately.
A few seconds later I could find it by using my Puppy and GoogleDrive in the web.
It seems GoogleDrive app prefers WLAN connection to upload files.
Don't know why, though.

Since I don't have any limitation on internet and data transfer, I can live with that so far.

Thanks, solved.
