Very simple. Works as designed!

"Give us full access to your drive to know who can read your drive", says the page designed to look like an official google page with barely any mention of it not being from google (no mention that mr everyone will see anyway).

I'm sure the intent is good but if the goal is to let people know that they give permissions too easily then pages like this aren't really helping.

Any particular add-ons or features need to be disabled for this to work?

JOOC, I temporarily allowed cookies, no luck. Then disabled ABP for the domain, no luck.

Are you using normal GDrive or GApps? If you're using GApps then access restricted be limited by your administrator.

Our goal was to provide a missing GDrive feature: "Who has (still) access to what files".

I have two or three google IDs active most of the time, my personal gmail ID and two GApps IDs. The usual behaviour when I access anything GDrive/GApps related is that Google will either default to "first logged in" (which I try to remember to make the gmail personal ID) or will prompt me to choose from among the logged in IDs.

This app literally does nothing: I click the button, nothing happens.
