I was developing android application that has backup to google drive feature.
I have used Simple API Access key and it worked like a charm for few weeks.

However, from yesterday, it does not work at all. (cannot list uploaded files and 403 fobidden error when trying to upload new file) I checked Google APIs Console and found out

Simple API Access
Status: Inactive

and Reports is not available and keeps showing popup message “An unexpected error has occurred. We’re looking into it.”

I googled about this message but there is no solution. (but found several issues related to google cloud SQL)
I was considering to use google drive on commercial level android app and this is very bad…
I wonder what is the problem and how to reactivate api status.

Thanks 🙂

    Unfortunately, because of the security model of the Drive SDK, we need to be sure that an application is who they say they are, which simple access does not give enough assurance of. For a commercial application, this strength of security is great for users.

    For a solution, you need to use Google Play Services as outlined in the documentation. We are currently working on a guide to get started with this very quickly on Android, and should be available within the next week.
