Cannot change the Google drive account after reinitializing dvc

Bug Report

Unable to reauthenticate for different google account.

Description

I have pushed the files using dvc push to my google drive; The followed procedure was:

1. git init
2. dvc init
3. dvc add <files-location/file-name>
4. dvc remote add -d storage gdrive://<file-id>
5. dvc push

Browser opened up and asked for authentication and I selected the account and authentication was successful and files were pushed to gdrive as expected.

But now I wanted to change the google drive account hence I followed the following procedure:

1. dvc destroy
2. dvc init
3. dvc add <files-location/file-name>
4. dvc remote add -d storage gdrive://<new-file-id-account2>
5. dvc push

The issue is now the program is failing to push the files

Expected

Expecting a re- authentication for new gdrive account
But got the following issue:

$ dvc push ERROR: unexpected error - : <HttpError 404 when requesting https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/1YvqGNV6FyS-WvqVM017NCim_2MesgxVG?fields=driveId&supportsAllDrives=true&alt=json returned “File not found: 1YvqGNV6FyS-WvqVM017NCim_2MesgxVG”.

@sagar-harry My guess is maybe you had a wrong url (not gdrive:// one). But that’s why I was asking for dvc config --list 🙂 Good to hear it works now.

Thanks a lot @efiop it worked.
Used the below command from the documentation shared. dvc remote modify --local myremote profile myprofile

My bad I missed that section of documentation, thanks for the support.
