used : KeeAnywhere-2.1.0.plgx / KeePass 2.57.1 / x64 W7 Since new GG security method use cloud GG in restricted but when open CLOUD file GG account not display directories... only possibility to move .kdbx file on root GG DRIVE to see :(

This is an intentional limitation of restricted mode. KeeAnywhere is restricted to only be able to see items KeeAnywhere itself created.

It can't see any of your folders because it didn't create those folders. Some other app made them, most likely the Google drive web UI.

Ok but this constraint reduces the utility of the plug-in. Is a corrective development foreseen to return to a normal GG mode?

Oh, I agree! It's terrible, there's just not much we can do about it. I do think the maintainer (Kyrodan) is working on it with Google. Issue 398 and 393 catalog the initial discovery of this problem, which prompted the creation of restricted mode.

To be clear, this is a policy change on Google's end, concerning the broad access permissions to your drive account KeeAnywhere needs. Sadly it's not just some bug or API update we could fix with some code and a PR. Kyrodan's got to get Google to approve the app, and I can only guess what that process is going to entail.
