New permsion required: "See, edit, create, and delete all of your Google Drive files"
This is way more extreme than what's described in the guide: https://www.backup4all.com/how-to-backu ... ve-kb.html
Permission request in the guide: https://i.imgur.com/m8AEMNH.png
Actual permission request: https://i.imgur.com/0m800iD.png
Any reason for this change? I don't want to allow backup4all to delete files on Google Drive that were not created by it, and I don't see why this should be required.

Hi,
Backup4all has no option to delete from Google Drive the files that were created outside Backup4all. It will only manage the files created by Backup4all.
The authentication dialog for Google Drive is a standard one. Manage the files means to create, edit, delete or view them.
We ask for all those permissions once in order to cover all Backup4all possible actions (backup, cleanup, restore, test).
