I was trying to configure automatic backups on Google Drive. I couldn't find current directions so I muddled through using https://wiki.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/cloud_backup.html (https://wiki.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/cloud_backup.html) and the trial and error method.
I have some steps that might be helpful. I typed the steps in OneNote. I tried printing it in pdf form but it's too big to attach. I guess I will post images of the steps. Not ideal, sorry.
If the steps don't work, I'm afraid I won't be much help because I am new to this myself. :)

Cannot thank you enough for your efforts that helped me (a basic newbie) get an extra level backup reassurance.
Kind regards.

I did follow it and am up and running, just one point. Maybe things changed since the guide was written but I was stuck in :
"3. Set up the account in OPNsense"
Email Address - enter the email address of the service account you created
It took me some time to realize it would only work if I used the user ID instead of the email address in this field in OPN. If I used the email I would get failure when finishing and pushing the "Setup/Test Google Drive" button.

According to this helpful post that is now committed to docs, when setting up the directory in OPN, we enter the email address. I got an error every time I did and pressed Test.
I changed from email i.e. user@opnsense-backups-888-iam-gserviceaccount.com as a value in the email field to it's Unique ID value in the developer console. Only then it would be accepted.

It is perfectly possible there's something else that I needed to do to accept the email as per the instructions but I have gone over the steps multiple times.

Any chance the wording for this field and especially the help tag can get updated to reflect this? Maybe have the field say "Identity" and then have the help say something like: "Enter either the Unique ID or the Service Account Email address. Do not use the G-mail address that owns the drive."
It wasn't until I found this thread and looked back over the instructions that I found my mistake.

It might have been a temporary problem at the time, so this might be a non-issue.

(the folder in the Shared drives isn't shown here, but that is where it was).
