It is (or was) a good way to go. Receiving an email from a scanner or sharing something with an app on Google Drive is a lot more secure than OAuth + "This app will have access to EVERYTHING IN YOUR GOOGLE DRIVE"
- jbverschoor 3y agoAt a certain point, you'll have apps and devices that have (or have no) permission to use someone else's account that was previously under your control. > "This app will have access to EVERYTHING IN YOUR GOOGLE DRIVE" Then don't use such app
- blagie 3y agoI don't think you get it. If you want to automate anything in Google drive, that's the modularity of permissions in Google APIs: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/api-specific-auth https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/api-specific-... I automate things all the time. If you want ChatGPT to provide feedback on a document, the above is what I've got to work with. If I want a web app to maintain a spreadsheet, again, that's what I've got. Granular permissions = more secure.
