VLC for iOS wants the right to delete *all* of your Google Drive files; is there a way to limit this to a folder? [closed]

Solution 1:

That scope is defined by Google. https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/scopes#drive

Some apps request full access so they can manage files across all of Drive, rather than just files that the app has created.

VLC is a well-known, trustworthy software. You can be confident that it won't delete anything you haven't told it to.

To answer your question: The scope is requested by the app. As far as I know, you can't edit specific properties of that scope.
