When trying to log in to Filerev with your Google Drive account you might receive an error message such as:
Access blocked: Filerev is not approved by Advanced Protection
This means your Google account uses the Advanced Protected Program, which blocks all third-party access to your Google account, including Filerev.
Turn off Advanced Protection for Gmail Accounts
For standard Gmail (@gmail.com) accounts, you can turn off Advanced Protection by visiting https://myaccount.google.com/advanced-protection/settings and clicking the Unenroll from Advanced Protection button. If you want to continue to use Advanced Protection you can go back to the same link and turn it back on once you have finished using Filerev.
Turn off Advanced Protection for Google Workspace Accounts
For a Google Workspace account the account administrator can whitelist Filerev. This is accomplished with the following steps (also documented by Google).
- Click the following link to go to Security > Access and data control > API Controls > Manage Third-party app access in your admin account.
- Click the Add App link at the top of the table/list and select OAuth App Name Or Client ID.
- In the Search Box, type Filerev and select the Search button.
- Click on the Select button that is displayed when you mouse over the Filerev name.
- Select all checkboxes for the OAuth Client ID's that are listed and then click the blue select button at the bottom right of the screen.
- Select the Trusted: Can access all Google services option and then click the Configure button.
With those steps complete, you will be able to log in to Filerev by from a desktop computer.
If you would like to install the Filerev Android app, you will need to repeat the steps above except on step 2, select Android in the drop down.
