Google Drive

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.

  Are you using an app-specific password for the account?

    No. I am using standard google account password, because logint into acoount is from google page, so app-specific password is not needed. Logon into google account is OK, but then google state that it blocked Netgear app/access.
