How did you setup gdrive? Did you follow this [setup guide](https://dvc.org/doc/user-guide/setup-google-drive-remote)?

Hi, @skshetry not sure if this was solved but I encountered the same issue. I followed along with the remote storage setup. However, one difference is that I did not use dvc add because I had written the dependencies and outputs directly in the dvc.yaml file. Secondly, I only allowed dvc access / permission to see, create, and delete its own configuration data. If I need to change the dvc permissons, how do I do that after the initial setup?

–solved–  
So I guess dvc needs access to everything. The authorization section was helpful, [https://dvc.org/doc/user-guide/setup-google-drive-remote?\_ga=2.39431651.1183132044.1651410796-478586346.1651410796#authorization](https://dvc.org/doc/user-guide/setup-google-drive-remote?_ga=2.39431651.1183132044.1651410796-478586346.1651410796#authorization)  
just delete the user credentials in the .dvc/tmp file and try again.
