    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.

    I’m not sure from this blog post why they can’t do that?

      I guess integration with Google Drive is a big convenience for users.

      But yes, if the cost of getting access is to high for indie developers, then it make sense to avoid Google Drive. Creating and maintaining your own cloud sync service for a specific app may not be worth it, they should investigate integration with existing Google Drive competitors/alternatives.
