I tried to use Google Drive as a repository for my data.  
When I try to push the data to the shared drive (using `dvc push`), it opens the web browser to authenticate my user.  
However, I received the following error from Google.

```auto
This app is blocked

This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access.

```

I couldn’t find any similar issue in this forum.

BR,

Fabricio

I’m getting the same message with `dvc get` in a **gdrive** remote location.

@fabricionarcizo

The DVC app is currently blocked by Google because they updated their policies, requiring more stringent verification for apps using certain Google APIs, specifically the drive.files OAuth scope.  
The recommended solution at this moment is to create a custom app.  
See how to make the custom app [here](https://dvc.org/doc/user-guide/data-management/remote-storage/google-drive#using-a-custom-google-cloud-project-recommended)

Question. DVC is being blocked by google drive only or does this include service accounts too?
