The Google Drive app is blocked on my Readynas 104. How can I set up a sync to Google Drive now?

Same problem with my RN316 after factory default. Any solution for this?
Please explain what you mean by "blocked". What specifically does or does not happen, and what messages do you get?
When I try to setup Google Drive from "Cloud" tab.
I am redirected to choose google account which I do. (NAS is RN316. Unit was factory defaulted after volume became Read Only).
After choosing google account I get this from google and I found no settings in my google account to stop this (but it says that Netgear si not a verified/trusted creator...). On all my other nas is sync with Google drive OK.
This app is blocked
This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access.
Same issue - I DID have a connection running and it was backing up data from my NAS to Drive, but then I removed the setting to change it and now it disabled it and trying to re-enable it gives me the account question then says it's blocked as in the other posts.
My account has this as registered access, so don't get why it's now disabled.
I spoke to google about this and they basically said - tough - the fact that it was disabled and therefore required a re-auth meant that it won't work - I didn't get into an argument - seemed a little pointless, but I did download and setup rclone, which was pretty good, although not quite as per the setup documentation
In order to assist others, let me see if I have this straight: The Google drive software on the ReadyNAS is out of date, and Google no longer allows new instances of it being used, but has grandfathered in (intentionally or not) those that currently have it running?
If that's the case, then Google could disable it in the future for existing users. Microsoft did just that with the ReadyNAS OneDrive software not too long ago.
