Give D.C access to your Google calendars also by clicking the relevant box.

*** A NOTE ABOUT GIVING GOOGLE DRIVE ACCESS ***
It would be natural to be nervous about giving an app access to ALL your Google Drive files. This is why Google verifies every app that uses Google Drive and Calendar services.
Here is Google documentation about the conditions the app must meet: https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy#additional-requirements-for-specific-api-scopes
Submitting the app we must describe the usage of the restricted services and then after app submission, there is a manual verification by Google employee.
Having said that, should you still feel unsure, you do not have to give access. The only limitation is that D.C will not be able to pull in your event images.
EXAMPLE 2
|
Note that D.C already has some permissions. In this case, click on 4 services to see which ones.
|
Remove permissions as desired.
Then click Done. |
In any case, click on Continue to go to the next step.
