How do I even know this is a real Google product? Okay I’ll trust the domain (hopefully it’s not googIe.com). How do I know it has no vulnerabilities? Google is a massive company. There’s a big difference between trusting an established team vs. whoever this team is.

Expecting permissions to my entire Google Drive is ridiculous. Yes, I tried not granting that permission (and only granting permission to an app-specific path) and it specifically told me I have to grant full permission . I closed the tab.

it is not even the expected opal.google.com it is opal.google, you need to be 100% sure beforehand that google has the sole rights to the .google tld (which an average person wouldn't know)

The behavior also seems sketchy with it asking for permission but then rejecting any usage if all of the permissions are not approved (why even ask then, you are google)

after re-finding the link through a confirmed subdomain.google.com site I tried to sign in and got this error

``` An unexpected signin error occured.Error checking geo access ```

so I gave up

I didn’t even notice the TLD, wow that makes it even worse. Funny thing is I don’t actually have anything in my Gdrive. It’s just the principle that irks me.
