Description: When trying to access a remote file via a service like Google Drive, the "failure to open" language used isn't clear at all! It refers to "The Specified Device is Invalid" yet no mention of "device" exists earlier! Steps to Reproduce: 1. File -> Open Remote -> Manage services - > Add service 2. [Select Google Drive under Type] 3. Enter the Share, User and Password 4. Click OK Actual Results: On failure, the language of the error returned doesn't have anything to do with what was entered. It talks of "Specified Device." No mention of "Device" in earlier text/UI at all! Expected Results: More meaningful error message associated with what was entered or whose access was attempted Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Use relevant language so as to have the user pinpoint where the problem may lie.

Thank you for reporting the bug. I can confirm that the bug is present in Version: 24.2.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded However, it seems the steps to setup Google Drive with LibreOffice is a bit awkward, I followed the steps in: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/remote-files-and-google-drive-problems/78875/2 Unfortunately, I was unable to get it working properly.
