I now post this as a bug since there is obviously something wrong with how EViews connects to Google Drive. It can take from a couple of seconds to more than a minute before EViews fetches the correct version of a file saved at Google Drive, see also viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15360&start=15
Note that an alternative is to fetch google docs directly using the wget command (see also forum post above),
Code: Select all
wget https://docs.google.com/document/d/FILE ID/export?format=txt -OutFile
