joined to just now to ask this same question! For me selecting a local folder seems to only upload 2 of the files. What's the best way to get a repo of code into gemini 1.5 pro?

ionic raven Mar 12, 2024, 10:20 PM

#

When I add a folder from drive, it is a bit odd. I select File, then Drive, then the folder to add. I haven't had a problem doing it this way. But I also haven't tried to add sub-folders with this.

#

The usual questions - what kind of account are you using, GMail or Workspace? Are you logged into other accounts while you're doing this?

glass mirage Mar 12, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

gmail, not logged into other accounts

#

I just now tried your "file -> select folder in drive" and it gets further (7 files), but doesn't appear to recurse into subdirs

#

when I try to upload the local directory I do get a prompt about uploading 92 files

#

looking at my network tab it looks like it's trying to upload all the files... but after a few seconds gets a rapid run of 403's, like some upload token's permissions timed out

ionic raven Mar 12, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

It is uploading them to drive, and I wouldn't rule out that they messed that up.
which is usually why I suggest putting things on drive and accessing from there.

glass mirage Mar 12, 2024, 10:27 PM

#

yea that makes sense, but not recursing into subdirs is a non-starter, unless a repo happens to be totally flat...

sinful lion Mar 12, 2024, 10:27 PM

#

I'm using gmail as well. Only logged into one account, using in incogneto. Originally tried in safari then moved to chrome incongnito based on some of what I read here

ionic raven Mar 12, 2024, 10:28 PM

#

Or you flatten it. Or you add the other folders.

Remember that when it loads the files in, it just loads the text in directly to the prompt. the files and structure essentially cease to exist.

#

Tho I'd agree - you should report both bugs.

glass mirage Mar 12, 2024, 10:30 PM

#

the structure is lost? That's surprising, given that examples in videos show responses that cite the files they came from. I guess that could be inferred

sinful lion Mar 12, 2024, 10:30 PM

#

ionic raven It is uploading them to drive, and I wouldn't rule out that they messed that up....

this is what I did, and I get an initial "uploading" prompt but it just hangs

ionic raven Mar 12, 2024, 10:31 PM

#

I've seen that before - which is why I suggest manually uploading yourself and having it load from drive.

#

I'd definitely report that and show them the console. {:

wooden flume Mar 12, 2024, 10:31 PM

#

yes!!

#

lots of people get this issue

#

but when they use the workaround they dont bother reporting

#

so pls people report the issue when you run into it 😭

sinful lion Mar 12, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

only console message

glass mirage Mar 12, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

what's the best avenue to report?

sinful lion Mar 12, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

wooden flume but when they use the workaround they dont bother reporting

workaround being upload to drive -> select that way? That's what I tried, still not working 😦

wooden flume Mar 12, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

sinful lion only console message

whats the response in Network panel?

sinful lion Mar 12, 2024, 10:34 PM

#

only errors I'm seeing

#

there's def a lot of network actiity tho

#

lots of repeated calls to gen access token

glass mirage Mar 12, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

network panel, not javascript console

#

oh, that may be the network panel, it's tightly cropped so I reacted to the formatting

sinful lion Mar 12, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

that's the network call log. Error is from a 400 response

glass mirage Mar 12, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

400, or 403?

sinful lion Mar 12, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

hehe, ya was trying to make it legible

#

Was seeing 403s earlier, so this might be different

glass mirage Mar 12, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

this is what I end up seeing:

sinful lion Mar 12, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

well it's certianly not doing nothing 😅

glass mirage Mar 12, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

I will say I first figured out my adblocker was getting in the way, though I have this problem after fixing that

sinful lion Mar 12, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

ya I assumed that was what happened before I tried incognito

glass mirage Mar 12, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

I'm gonna upload a .tar as a .txt and see if that works

#

well, it seems to work, so mv code.tar code.txt and uploading one file might be a decent workaround:

sinful lion Mar 12, 2024, 10:51 PM

#

I think it actually worked! Upload to drive -> import that way. Just... took a while

wooden flume Mar 12, 2024, 10:56 PM

#

glass mirage this is what I end up seeing:

right, click one and go to response real quick

#

probably caller does not have permission

#

could you do the same too @sinful lion

#

400 is interesting

sinful lion Mar 12, 2024, 10:57 PM

#

upload worked!

ionic raven Mar 12, 2024, 11:03 PM

#

sinful lion upload worked!

upload directly or upload to drive first?

#

And I can't find the message above - but the best way to report is via the three dots in the upper right hand corner of AI Studio.

sinful lion Mar 12, 2024, 11:12 PM

#

ionic raven upload directly or upload to drive first?

Drive first

#

Upload directly tries to upload to drive first, creating duplicates, and that upload seems to fail for me

#

Granted, it’s a big repo

#

765k tokens haha

ionic raven Mar 13, 2024, 3:46 AM

#

not bad. my multi-file test came in at about 660k tokens.
