Noted in the output, it's only for drive and photos. You have the app folder there.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure what I should put for the scope? this is for the drive so it should work?

Scopes are documented here:

The scope depends on what you want so I really can't answer for you. If you want to restrict access to only the app folder, you don't get changes.

Most people use 'drive' to give it access to all files.

drive.appfolder is what i want so that only the API can access and control the directory and files.

Everything is working but I keep seeing the 403 error in the logs. looks to have started back on July 5th and continued. before that, I did not see the line in the logs at all
