This app is blocked

I am a new duplicacy user with a personal licence. I tried to setup my docker instance with google drive (Duplicacy Web Edition 1.8.1), but I always get the result “This app is blocked”.

What can I do in order to connect to google drive?

Have you tried this: This app is blocked This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. - Google Account Community

I cannot change the setting:

Interesting. Is this g-suite? Do you have 2FA enabled?

Same issue here.

I do have 2fa enabled. So can’t change the setting.

Summoning @gchen. This is perhaps has something to do with duplicacy google project.

It appears that Google Drive stopped giving out the full access scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive. I modified Google Drive for Duplicacy to use the more restricted https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file scope instead, which means Duplicacy can only access files and directories that it creates.

As a result, you can no longer click the browse button to list directories in your Google Drive account. You’ll have to manually enter the directory name.
