I really enjoy FFS and use it already for a long time. Thanks to the developer!

Linking FFS to my Google Drive to sync data is also a great feature. However, this requires to give excessive rights to FFS including viewing, editing and removing all drive contents.
Therefore, how safe do you guys think it is to give this access, or technically, how to make sure this will not misuse of data?

Thanks!

I'm always hesitant in such situations.
And to me, it always comes down to trust.

Are you comfortable enough with the product that you can trust... ?

It's also and open source program where anyone can dig around the code to see what it does. You can cross reference the API calls used with the descriptions of what they do from Google and see what FFS does with your data. But like rube said, all third-party tools come down to trust
