Surely at this point you’d make your own Google Drive and sync your notes to there? Clearly relying on a third party API isn’t working for them financially so stop doing it. Some S3 storage and a backend isn’t that difficult and could be run for pennies.

The new requirements make sense only if there’s the possibility to contact human support. Google unfortunately is run by bots
