While trying to set up Tasker Backup to google drive, I got a popup that said Tasker was trying to access sensitive files (I don't have any sensitive files) and so it was being blocked. Is that them just hating on Tasker or something I can fix?

I spent some time looking around last night before posting and didn't find anything useful. I'm using Folder Sync at a different service, but I like to make multiple backups.

Thanks, that does seem to work. Oddly, it first said it wasn't going to,  "Tasker only has access to files it writes, so Google Drive has blocked it" or something. But then it looks like it backed it up anyway, at least I have the XML file in my Drive. Looks like it's all there...

Yep, as the message says, Tasker can access the files it itself writes, so backups are not an issue :) Glad it works again!
