Once Disconnected from Google Drive, Can Never Connect Again
Issue #51
new
I used my Google account control panel to disconnect the BrowsePass app from Google Drive. (This was due to a bunch of messed up stuff where BrowsePass refused to use the correct Google account and whatnot. But that's for a different bug report.)
Now, when I try to browse Google Drive, it shows me "<ROOT>" and no files, because it doesn't have access. Even uninstalling and reinstalling BrowsePass doesn't seem to make a difference. It seems I can never connect this app to any account's Google Drive again.

Ah, sorry about making that clear. No, I completely signed out of all my Google accounts, and even then was I never asked for permission, whether I tried when remaining signed out or when I signed in again and then tried.

@cjs-cynic-net I have problems reproducing this bug. Could you please help list out the steps and your setup? Below is what I did, please see if they match your experience.
- Open BrowsePass in an incognito window.
- Click on "Browse..." button on GDrive line.
- Enter credentials to the Google Drive.
- Grant read permission.
- Observe that the same entries are listed in BrowsePass as they are in Google Drive. Click on "Cancel" to close the Google Drive pop up file chooser.
- Open another tab, and visit https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.
- Click on BrowsePass, then click on "Remove" button, and answer "OK" to deny BrowsePass from accessing your Google Drive.
- Get back to BrowsePass tab, click on the same "Browse..." button. Nothing happens because the last grant is no longer valid, and pop-up is blocked.
- So click on that button one more time, the grant permission pop-up is shown.
- Click "Allow". And then there are the files just like before.
Did I miss anything?

If you sign out of Google, and run BrowsePass again, would you be asked to sign in and grant permission?
