Questions
In general we strive to request as few permissions as possible. In this case, its an unfortunate result of how Google has setup its permissions and API methods
Some users have asked us why do we require the permission to access all of your Google Sheets spreadsheets, as it seems like its asking for more than necessary. We require this permission in order insert reports into your spreadsheets using the Google Spreadsheets API methods BatchUpdate. This method requires the scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets which is unfortunately rather broad.
However, practically speaking SyncWith cannot access any of your spreadsheets except for the one(s) you install our addon in, because SyncWith cannot list your spreadsheets or find them.
