Hi,

  yeah, sorry about that. To explain what happened: I moved to a different country. In order to move a Google Merchant Profile to a different country you have to create a new account (!), and so I did. Unfortunately, Google Drive API access keys were tied to the old account and I realized that only after the old account was closed and removed. I’ll need to obtain new API keys from Google; the problem is that Google's documentation is just awful. It’s not that the documentation is sparse or missing - it’s the opposite: it’s bloated and chatty as hell. It’s really hard to find usable information in all of that ballast. But, I was able to do it once; hopefully I’ll be able to do it again.

Google told me that meanwhile the API should continue working, but it might be very slow. I wonder whether that’s really the case.

Hopefully I’ll get to it this week.

Best regards,
Martin

Do you think that you will fix the connectivity problem to the Google Drive? 
I am asking because if you don't fix it I will have to write the program by myself for which I don't have the time.

Not gonna lie - unfortunately I'm not able to allocate much time for this project. Could be that this could take weeks.

Hi,

  Google is now reviewing my request for public access, but it will take some time. Quoting google:

> External apps that request sensitive or restricted user data must first be verified by Google. This process may take 4-6 weeks

Let’s hope that the process will take faster than 4-6 weeks.

Best, Martin
