Google Drive says a box was left unticked. What now?

Connect again and keep the box that lets the app create and edit its Drive files ticked on Google's screen. The app only touches files it creates.

Reconnect Google Drive

Step by step

Before you start. Google exports need the Create and edit Drive files box ticked on Google's screen. When it is left unticked, the pop-up says One box was left unticked and no connection is stored.

  1. If the pop-up stays open, click Close window.
  2. Click your initials in the top bar and choose Profile & preferences.
  3. On the Account tab, under Connected apps, click Connect on Google Drive.
  4. On Google's screen, keep the Create and edit Drive files box ticked and continue.
  5. If you started from a saved insight's Export menu, click Reconnect and allow Drive access there instead. PDF (print view) and PNG image work without Drive.
  6. To stop access later, click Disconnect, then Disconnect again to confirm.

What you see. Google Drive reads Connected as with your Google address.

Tip. Google Sheets and Google Slides exports use this connection.
