Adding Google Drive to new Backup routine - Trouble with creating oauth client

My understanding is that I have to have a developer account and get oauth credentials. I’ve struggled through that, created an oauth client called Home Assistant, have an oauth ID and oauth secret. I tried to add Google Calendar and Google Drive in home assistant, but when it gets to the Google screen where I give access, clicking on my Google account, it gives me an error.

> Access blocked: home-assistant.io has not completed the Google verification process

home-assistant.io has not completed the Google verification process. The app is currently being tested, and can only be accessed by developer-approved testers. If you think you should have access, contact the developer

When setting up originally, it did not allow me to set up as an Internal User Type, it says I’m not a Google Workspace user. I don’t know if that’s part of the problem. I did enter https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth as an authorized redirect URL as indicated in the Home Assistant documents.

Has anyone successfully done this from start to finish and can write up a bit of a guide? I’ve checked the docs of course.

@harryfine , I’ve run into the same issue. I read somewhere along the integration install path that a Google Workspace account is not required.

I can’t get past the authentication screen since the initial attempt at installing the Google Dive integration. Also, I’ve not found a will to remove the integration and start over. The Integration Panel that should have appeared under Settings>Device & services, is none existent. How does one remove then re-install this integration when no panel to do so is available?

Think I figured it out. Start again with the oauth consent screen, but use External user and then add your Google account ***@gmail.com as a test user.

Then go back to HA, go into settings, Integrations, top left 3 button menu, remove any existing credentials you have added which failed. Then add the Google Drive Integration using the secrets and ID and any random NAME under NAME. Worked for me.
