If you connected Iptanus File Upload to Google Drive before version 4.17.0, that connection has stopped working and needs setting up again. This article explains why, and what to do.
What Google changed
In February 2022 Google announced that it was retiring the OAuth out-of-band (OOB) flow, and it stopped working for existing connections on 31 January 2023.
The plugin used that flow to activate Google Drive uploads up to version 4.16.4. Version 4.17.0 moved to the replacement, the OAuth 2.0 authorisation flow with redirect URIs.
What to do
Upgrade to the current version of the plugin and run the Google Drive activation again, so that your credentials are reissued under the new flow.
Repeating the activation
Go to the Settings page of the plugin’s Dashboard area and find Google Drive Settings. If Google Drive uploads are still shown as activated, press Press here to reset them:
Then work through the activation as described in the Google Drive uploads article.

Hi, Congratulation for your plugin.
I bought I license for the PRO version. I’m using your plugin in my website (esoarch.com) and if I check the health of my site on Desktop > Tools > Site health, I’m getting a critical error:
“An active PHP session was detected:
A PHP session was created by a session_start() function call. This interferes with REST API and loopback requests. The session should be closed by session_write_close() before making any HTTP requests.”
I realize that this error only comes when your plugin is “active”.
Can I get some help with that?
