Google Docs - will not fetch the correct file
Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2018 4:05 am
Hi
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), However, this requires that the file is open to everyone with the FILE ID. To use a google doc that is private one must use the cloud management tool provided in EViews, but for this to function properly, EViews must be able to download the last saved version of the file, not an old version, which it is currently doing. Can you please fix this?

Code: Select all
wget https://docs.google.com/document/d/FILE ID/export?format=txt -OutFile
