Google Drive access issue

Blot prompted me to reconnect my Google Drive, but when I attempt that I get "This app is blocked: This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access."

This appears to be an issue with Blot's security. I've tried to set up an app password via Google but this does not appear to work, either.

Update: it appears that Blot is able to access my Drive, but will not automatically sync. I'm having to re-sync the folder every time I update.

Also having this issue! It isn't syncing at all. On the blot side, it says it synced, but the site hasn't updated.

Has there been any communication from David on any issue as of late? The Blot github repo hasn't been updated in 2 months. Hopefully nothing has happened to the guy.

Answered 3 months ago · Edit answer

Not working here as of September 10th. Weirdly I wrote a post and it updated immediately, but pages aren't being pulled through.

Looks like David has been inccomunicado for a while now. I hope everything is okay with him.
