Google Drive add-on is not allowing users to view documents after authenticating

XMLWordPrintable

      Summary

      Google Drive add-on, by Atlassian, is currently blocking access to files on Drive, saying:
      "We can't open this document as XXXX"

       

      This seems to have started after 10-May-2019, after the last add-on update.

      Environment

      • This seems to happen on new authentications. So revoking authentication from Google's side and then try to reproduce these steps below

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Copy either a Google Docs/Sheets link
      2. Either paste the link directly into the page, or insert a macro by typying "/doc" ("{doc" on the old editor).
      3. Authenticate the session via the add-on

      Expected Results

      1. User should be able to view the doc after the authentication.

      Actual Results

      1. No doc is displayed, instead a message is displayed as below (no matter how many times you try to authenticate)

      Workaround

      If your company uses G Suite, check if the 3rd-party apps are allowed.
