Is it (still) possible to upload image from ESP32 CAM to Google Drive?

1

I’ve found numerous tutorials and examples of uploading an image to Google Drive using ESP32 CAM which are all more or less the same but they all result with:

[E][WiFiClientSecure.cpp:133] connect(): start_ssl_client: -1

when executing:

client.connect(myDomain, 443) // const char* myDomain = "script.google.com"

What I have noticed is all of these examples are 2 or 3 years old so the question is - has something changed regarding Google Drive API in the meanwhile and is uploading an image using Google Scripts + doPost() function still even possible?

I saw a few mentions of “Google Scripts are using redirects” and I’ve found this HTTPSRedirect library but every example using that library is for updating the spreadsheets and I coudn’t find one single example of using it to upload the image to Google Drive folder nor could I find any information if that (still) could be done :-/

This more looks like something went wrong on the TLS socket level. Maybe even as per this.

Do you have a minimal sketch that reproduces the issue?

You are right, that was the exact problem and after adding:

client.setInsecure();

everything is working well. I’ve been trying to upload images to Google Drive since March 12th and now it is finally working.

Thank you very much for your help!!

Regards
