Updraft creates new folder in Google Drive

Before this were the backups going into an existing folder.
Have you wiped your settings or anything like that?
Does this happen with every backups or is the issue intermittent?
Did this happen after an update or anything like this.
Have you reauthorised your Google Drive?
Google has recently made a few changes which may be be playing a part in this.

This is due to some changes Google made.
Currently, Google’s scope only permits access to folders and files created by the specific app.
Unlike the previous version, we can no longer access all folders and files.

It used to be possible for the Google user to decide, this option has now been taken away.
Google, again unannounced, also removed other options which allowed a user to choose.

Ultimately all apps connecting with Google services have experienced these changes.
With no warning it has created problems for app users. The apps played no part in it.

As the issue was due to a nuance in Google’s systems we have no way to repair it.
The issue was a temporary one and it should have now resolved.

You will need to remove the extra folders.

As you can see from my explanation, our options are pretty much zero in this case.
We’re obviously sorry for the inconvenience. Even though we were not the cause of it.
