Hi,
I have a problem with GDrive client on NAS540. It just stopped working about upgrading to a new firmware (Firmware Version: V5.21(ABAG.15)). The App version is 0.5.3.
When I try to link a GDrive account in the app, on page 3: Authorization/Click here to get the authorization code from Google, I get this message: This app is blocked

This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access.

I have tried multiple times, even removing and installing GDrive client on NAS.
Please advise.

    Have you tried changing the security setting on your Chrome? It looks like Chrome is blocking it.

    No. I am using Firefox and Brave. However the same procedure works with DropBox Client.

    This app is blocked

    Hi @teflon

    Thank you for reaching out.

    Previously, the Google Drive client on the NAS540 required enabling "less secure apps" in your Google account settings for integration. However, due to recent updates to Google’s security policies, this option is no longer available.

    We understand this may be inconvenient, especially considering the End of Life (EOL) status of the NAS540. We appreciate your understanding, and we’re here if you need further assistance or have any other questions.

    Hi there. I just checked. I have Zyxel Nas542 (running V5.21(ABAG.15)). Not 540! Sorry for the mistake.

    So, it's should not be End Of Life. Any solution to connect GDrive Client on 542?

    I have some bad news for you. The 542 is also EOL.
