Solved: You need to authenticate

Solved You need to authenticate before accessing this item when saving tp Google drive. Do not choose Save to files instead scroll through options to the drive in the icons and save it on the drive where you want it.

Google Drive Authentication probkem There was a chat a while back about how to get the Google Drive to open inside another app and not bring up an authentication issue. I do not have the privacy screen activated in Google drive, but when I try to open a file it continues to show a status wheel saying LOADING and will not open the drive with my files. i am grading papers digitally and needing to upload into a schools student portal.

Cannot delete files in "Recently Deleted" in Files app: "You need to authenticate before accesing this item." As the titles says I can delete certian files in the recently deleted section. It prompts me with the "You need to authenticate before accessing this item." and it gives an "OK" button. Tapping on the "OK: button does nothing. All these files I wish to delete are google drive files. I logged in through the google drive app and still prompts me the error. Can anyone assess this issue?
