Hi

I have this error message when I tried to move the Google Drive content of one user to another:

Authentication Token Error - unauthorized_client: Client is unauthorized to retrieve access tokens using this method

I did tried the command: gam user (user name) check serviceaccount, and the result is all Fail.

The message stated to grant Client name: 107697488989354354041 the access right. However, it still fail.

Please help.

Thanks!

You need to wait up to 24-48 hours after granting the service account access in the admin console. Keep trying and if you entered it eight you should start getting passes.
