just to be clear… i followed the updraftplus link in wordpress and it went to the default browser and it showed the error below in the browser
401. That’s an error.
Error: deleted_client
The OAuth client was deleted.

Hi,
From your description, it appears that you are still using the older method of Google Drive authentication.
Could make sure you update to latest version of UpdraftPlus and wipe out UpdraftPlus settings so it shows the new and simplified authentication process? This can be done in the ‘Advance Tools’ tab and setup remote storage settings again.
Regards,
Bryle

The error in particular means that you’ve deleted the client identifier from your Google Developer Console. But as my colleague says, wiping and rebuilding your Google settings will resolve it by moving onto our purpose-built Google client that removes the previous need for your own one.

someone else set this up so i’d need the google drive login details…
Hi,
It is possible that your site has been specifically configured to use a custom Google Drive app for UpdraftPlus (so UDP is still trying to use an old client)
Please could you check your wp-config.php file for the following line of code, and remove it:
define('UPDRAFTPLUS_CUSTOM_GOOGLEDRIVE_APP', true);
You will then need the Google Drive login credentials for the account you are sending backup to.
