When synchronising to Google Drive, Encompass requests for the following permissions:

1. View and manage the files in your Google Drive (https://developers.google.com/resources/api-libraries/documentation/appsactivity/v1/java/latest/com/google/api/services/appsactivity/AppsactivityScopes.html#DRIVE)
2. View and manage Google Drive files and folders that you have opened or created with this app

The permission I'm concerned about is request permissions #1 which, explained in Google's own words is:

-Upload, download, update, and delete files in your Google Drive
-Create, access, update, and delete native Google documents in your Google Drive
-Manage files and documents in your Google Drive (e.g., search, organize, and modify permissions and other metadata, such as title)

Other apps only request #2 if I'm not mistaken. 

Please clarify.

Hi guys, any update on the permission concern? Will this be addressed?

Mine doesn't even sync after the first time anymore. It only syncs the first time I manually disconnect synchronizing from my Google Drive and then re-login, but after that it stops. I am running Hitman.Pro.Alert tho but I've tried disabling it and see if Enpass would sync, but it doesn't. Could it be a firewall issue?

Hi @Richard2016
Although Enpass can work with permission #2 only in most of the time. But there are cases when we need permisson #1 also, like

1. You have configured folder sync in desktop app and that folder is being synced with google drive through google app.

2. You have manually uploaded a Enpass backup as sync_default.walletx.

In these cases without permission #2, Enpass app on your phone will fail to fetch the Enpass data as it is not uploaded by Enpass.

Hi @Jatin Sharma

Thank you for taking the time to clarify that and it makes perfect sense in the use case you describe.

Best Regards,
