New issue 56 by rahuld...@gmail.com: Uploading without conversion Error
http://code.google.com/p/google-docs-upload/issues/detail?id=56

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try entering a path which has a jpg file in the folder
2. Keep getting the error Uploading without conversion is only available to
Google Apps for Business accounts
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should upload the file

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am running with -u <username> -p <password> and entering the path through
command line when prompted. The path folder contains exactly one JPG file
and nothing else.

I am using a regular google account and it keeps giving me the error
Uploading without conversion is only available to Google Apps for Business
accounts

Please provide any additional information below.

I got the same problem. It's impossible to upload PDF files, because it
says that uploading without conversion is only available to google apps for
business accounts, though i didn't select that it should upload without
conversion. I actually want my files uploaded converted.

Almost every type of file I try to upload is rejected.

How the heck can this problem have only a medium priority? It has rendered
my account utterly useless, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Since it was
reported almost a month ago and nothing has been done, I'll be taking my
business elsewhere.

I have a paid business account and I get the Uploading without conversion

is only available to Google Apps for Business accounts

...

my command line is:
java -jar e:\users\gdu\google-docs-upload-1.4.7.jar e:\users\mitch -rf
/documents --recursive -u $$$$$$$$$$$$$ -p $$$$$$$$

It does this for every single file except .pdf files.

I have the same issue and I have a business account. As previously stated
this is a serious issue for me. I have contacted Google Support about
whether my account is actually considered a 'business account' and it
appears to be according to the Support guy. I sent him screen shots but I
received no further responses...

Has anyone had anymore luck with this error?

Hi Guys

I found the issue (at least for me anyway). As you are trying to upload to
a business account it seems the API requires the https protocol for
unconverted documents.

To solve the problem I simply added:

--protocol https

to the end of the command and it uploaded no problems.

I hope this helps others :)
