Unfortunately, KDE's hands are tied here. It's necessary for any software that
wants to integrate Google Drive to use Google's API to do so. Google controls
access to that, and if they deny us access they deny us. We did discuss this
with them, and pushed hard to justify our use, but they still refused us. We
will probably try to petition them again in the future, but there are no
guarantees they will be more amenable than last time.

In the meantime, what might get Google to listen is for users like yourself who
are negatively affected by their decision to speak up. Call them out on social
media. Contact their support channels. Make noise. If they can be convinced to
allow us the necessary code access, we would be able to take a look at
re-enabling this integration.

An alternative for affected folks for now might be rclone, for which there are
UIs available:
