Attempting to click the "Enable Google Drive" button instantly results in a message "Mesen could not connect to your Google Drive account - please try again later."

Thanks for the report! I can't reproduce this on Ubuntu 18.04 with Mono 5.18. The "Mesen could not connect ..." error message is essentially a catch-all error that is shown when any exception occurs during the process, which isn't too helpful.

Generally speaking, the Google Drive integration feature is pretty old and I haven't really put any effort into it ever since it was originally added, like 4 years ago. It's not really something I want to devote too much time to - to be perfectly honest, it's actually a feature I've been considering removing entirely for a while now.

Ah, that's really too bad because it's kinda neat when you have a desktop and a laptop both. Back to Dropbox I go.
