Issues with Google Drive Paths (Slow Download/Repeat auth)

[r3ferrei]

Having 2 minor issues when setting up a console using a Google Drive path:

The below are experienced on Android (Nexus 6P 7.1.2 and Oreo, but it happens on an Nvidia Shield too).

1. Every fresh launch of RetroX, it asks to authenticate again with Google Drive. So if I kill the app and launch it again, it re-authenticates with Drive again requesting permissions to the Drive account.
2. For large files (like PSP or PSOne ISO's), download speeds are extremely slow (10x slower than downloading using the Drive app on the same network).

Any possible resolutions for the above? For 2, I can just download the files directly and setup a new path for those consoles, but would like to use Google Drive to manage all my ROMS.

Sadly we don't have control over that. It's the Google Drive gateway which run those parts of the process.

Thanks for the reply. I can live with it but wanted to see if it wasn't a known issue.

fcatrin just wanted to let you know that the FileX manager doesn't have the repeat authentication issue that RetroX does. Only difference I see is that FileX is using cloudrail to integrate.

Both apps are using almost the same code through CloudRail.

I made a fix on RetroX that should solve the auth problem, but that fix was released some days ago. Do you still have that problem?

Yeah I downloaded the build from the website today and I'm getting the authentication issue. Looks like it works until the program is closed then it asks to authenticate again.

Ok, I'll give it a try

I was checking some pending issues. This one should be solved by now. Is it?
