Title: Cannot authorize Google Drive Last modified: March 31, 2019 --- # Cannot authorize Google Drive * Resolved [holiday101](https://wordpress.org/support/users/holiday101/) * (@holiday101) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-authorize-google-drive/) * I tried restoring a backup from Google Drive (which I already set up with UpdraftPlus) and got an access error. So I proceeded to restore access by re-Auth the UpdraftPlus plugin with Google. In the final stage of allowing access to UpdraftPlus I get an error 526, invalid SSL on [https://auth.updraftplus.com](https://auth.updraftplus.com). So I can’t gain access to my backups already on Google Drive. Need a fix.

However, with a mission-critical application like this, we should be receiving 24/7 support. That’s what I’m paying for with my premium subscription. The issue went most of the day yesterday without any support person addressing it. * [flizzywp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flizzywp/) * (@flizzywp) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-authorize-google-drive/#post-11380253) * Is there any cleanup or any other steps required by us? * [Harshad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bornforphp/) * (@bornforphp) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-authorize-google-drive/#post-11389895) * [@flizzywp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flizzywp/) Can you please open a new thread and describe your issue in detail? * [flizzywp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flizzywp/) * (@flizzywp) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-authorize-google-drive/#post-11390668) * This is more of a general question that would affect everyone else too. I was told by the staff that we might have to remove some files manually after the unsuccessful backup, but they were not clear WHAT exactly we have to remove from where. (This was in a thread in the premium support forum, but I don’t get any answers there either) - This reply was modified 7 years, 1 month ago by [flizzywp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flizzywp/). * [flizzywp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flizzywp/) * (@flizzywp) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-authorize-google-drive/#post-11401465) * UpdraftPlus staff, this is slowly turning into a joke. You are stating that there might be files leftover from the outage that should be removed, but you provide no instructions which files exactly to remove and from where. Neither here nor in the Premium support chat. Can you please provide guidance?
