Why does Mote ask for permission to access my Google Drive?
In order to use Mote's integration with Google Slides, we need to have your permission to access your Google Drive to save the audio files that we create on your behalf.
Mote's permissions are strictly limited to just the audio files that you create with Mote. Here's the specific text shown by Google:
If you decline these permissions, you may not be able to log into Mote. We made this decision in order to simplify Mote for the majority of users who do want to use Mote with Google Slides.
