So my first question is, does that literally mean what it sounds like? That is, the company behind this app is asking for unfettered access to all my Google Drive documents so it can download all my Drive files, even the ones that have nothing to do with the app?īut I'm confused about the apparent contradictory permissions between (1) and (2), or (1) and (4) for that matter. Permission 2 seems absurd, see and download all Drive files! If you are not, pick that account from the list of accounts displayed. Check that you are logged in with your account. Go to (link is external) Click your photo (or the generic human icon) at the right end of the Google toolbar. Permission 1 seems OK, the App obviously needs access to its own files. It only removes AppStreams access to them.


Read on to learn how to set up the Google. Google Account permissions requested include: If you use Google Drive, you can install the Google Drive app to share and access files right from your workspace. The example I'm looking at is MindMup 2 For Google Drive, but it could be almost any as the permissions requested seem typical.

I'm trying to understand what the permissions granted to a Google Drive connected app actually mean.
