​GoogleDriveExplorer requires read-only access to your Google Drive folders and their metadata. This includes:
. File and folder names
. Parent folder or subfolders
. Creation, last view, or modify dates
. Size, type of file, etc.
If you choose to export data for offline work, the extension also needs permission to create Google Sheets.

We use Google Drive's API. Google has verified the scope and proper usage of the Google API services we use. This is done as part of our Chrome Web Store publishing process.
