hello and welcome to the forum,

have you tried to create a new config and test again?

This is probably a networking / firewall / proxy issue I'd say.

Is there a way to check that? I have other colleagues that have successfully connected to the google drive form our university, I don't know where there problem would be.

Try doing this from the command line - it should give the result shown

$ curl --data "" https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
{
  "error": "unsupported_grant_type",
  "error_description": "Invalid grant_type: "
}

Do you need a proxy?

Hi, I had the same problem, I obtained a client id and use it, then it worked!

Also I used manual config.
