I want to add my Google Drive to sync a specific folder on my home PC to access it from anywhere. I processed to do that by adding my Google account to the gnome online accounts, but sadly it's not working. Would you please help me find a solution.

I am using Ubuntu 22.10 gnome 43

Thanks in advance

Disabling compositing mode seems to work around the issue:

export WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1
gnome-control-center online-accounts

So the only way i found it to work is to download the new evolution through the snap store add your accounts through that and boom they're everywhere

I just used killall gnome-control-centre and re-opened settings, then it started responding.

I have faced this issue, In my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, I simply removed gnome-control-center by sudo apt purge gnome-control-center and reinstalled it by sudo apt install gnome-control-center,then open the settings and login to Google which solves the problem .

During reinstall a new package named gnome-online-accounts is installed, I think so this missing package causes the problem.

Hope someone found this helpful

I think I found the issue. It's the NVIDIA Driver. Please go to Software & Updates --> Click on Settings --> Additional Drivers --> Try Changing the default driver with an alternative one in the list.

This worked for me on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

I did faced this issue with Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (just upgraded) what I did was: logout from my Ubuntu account and login againg and the issue was solved. Now adding an online account from pc settings it switched to the browser and Google asked for permission to acces gnome. Hope this help.
