Hi! I have AutoMate Premium, latest version.

I am having an issue with granting AutoMate permission to upload to my Google Drive. I've also tried using the Send Gmail block and added the same account (my account) and that worked perfectly fine.
But whenever I try to setup Google Drive related block, I click on "Pick Account" and once I select my account, nothing happens! A little popup is shown down below saying "Authorization failed" and thats it. It isn't asking me to grant any access or nothing!
All that happens is I click my account, I get nothing back except a message with a denial of access/authorization.

I've tried this on two phones, also tried TWO different accounts - still the same issue everywhere.

I am able to sign in into other GSuite blocks via AutoMate though, however Google Drive is the only one behaving like this.

So, how can I grant permission for AutoMate to access my Google Drive and upload content?

Help is appreciated, thank you!

Try rebooting the device. If that doesn't suffice, try Deauthorizing Google Device access in Automate settings, then click the "Pick account" button again.

Hi!
I've tried that, just did it again now - restarted device, and when I click Deauthorize Google Drive Access via AutoMate Settings, I get a popup saying "Deauthorization failed". :(
There on, I am still unable to authorize....tried this on both devices again, same thing.

I'm also sure that when I installed this app, and where I added my account for Gmail and for one other block, Google asked me permission to allow AutoMate authorization. But I'm 100% sure when I first time try to use the Google Drive block, it doesn't ask me anything, just a failed popup. Also I highly doubt it's an issue with my device/account as I tried my dad's phone too and his account, but I got the same result! :(

Waiting for a reply, thanks!

Look in the Google accounts settings, maybe you've blocked Automate somehow:

I checked and Automate has access to Google Drive.
:(

Deauthorize Automate's Google Drive access in the Google Accounts settings, then try authorizing again. Ensure you have internet access.

Tried, no help. There must be a ghost around, hehe, every option is failing...

Anyways, Henrik, leave this Google Drive Issue here, I can just E-Mail myself instead of using the drive (for now at least). Leave it :)

However, I have one MORE question though (sorry for asking so much, I'm totally new!)

Is there a way by which I can obtain my current SIM's phone number? So what I'm doing is that I'm setting up a flow where it detects IF my SIM Operator changes to a new one, it will message my dad's phone notifying that the SIM card has been changed in my phone (this is for incase a thief steals my phone; can happen, we never know in today's world). So what I also want to do is that can I obtain the new SIM Number and send that to my dad's phone too? I know how I can send variables down by SMS (like location; 1. get location, send as sms with variable {loc}). So can I somehow get the new SIM phone number using Automate? I tried but I couldn't find a flow that replies back with the current SIM installed's phone number :( - found other things though.

Thank you! I'm running a non-rooted Android 7.
