At present I have two projects set up with Drive API enabled.

enter image description here

Now where do I properly set up the permissions to resolve this issue?

Also, what am I doing wrong here?

  1. Make sure to use DriveScopes.DRIVE for allowed SCOPE: private static final List SCOPES = Collections.singletonList(DriveScopes.DRIVE);

  2. Make sure to reset token directory path as below:

     GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow flow = new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Builder(
         HTTP_TRANSPORT,
         JSON_FACTORY, clientSecrets, SCOPES)
         //.setDataStoreFactory(new FileDataStoreFactory(new java.io.File(TOKENS_DIRECTORY_PATH)))
         .setDataStoreFactory(new MemoryDataStoreFactory())
         .setAccessType("offline")
         .build();

Othewise it will always use the cached version.

For me issue was SCOPES, it was set to SheetsScopes.SPREADSHEETS_READONLY.

So I changed it to SheetsScopes.SPREADSHEETS, deleted the Token folder in the project directory and run the program again and it worked.

This issue happened when you change SCOPE and proceed to work with the old token. Just remove StoredCredential file.Idea

After a long time searching, I found this answer hidden in the search engine:

Change the line where you define scopes to:

private static final List<String> SCOPES = Arrays.asList(GmailScopes.MAIL_GOOGLE_COM);

I had the same problem but in my case resolve this with:

private static final List<String> SCOPES =
        Arrays.asList(DriveScopes.DRIVE);

from DriveScopes

and also create a new directory

private static final java.io.File DATA_STORE_DIR = new java.io.File(System.getProperty("user.home"), ".credentials/2/drive-java-quickstart.json");

and i solved the problem

I had the same issue, I did the following change and it resolved the issue

1) Added SheetsScopes.DRIVE to the scopes to be given in authorize()

private static final List<String> SCOPES =
            Arrays.asList(SheetsScopes.SPREADSHEETS,SheetsScopes.DRIVE);

2) Created a new directory, so that next time I run it, it will authenticate and save the credential to the newly created directory

private static final java.io.File DATA_STORE_DIR = new java.io.File(
        System.getProperty("user.home"), ".credentials/2/sheets.googleapis.com-java-quickstart.json");

I just had this problem and it is likely that you have created the credential file using a scope that does not allow inserting a file. Remove the credential file and re-run.

Been having same quota errors for months. Tried everything. It looks like problem on Google side. Among all google products, Calendar API does not have any way to support their team. If anyone knows or have been able to contact Google team about Calendar API, let us know!
