According to Google guidelines, an app that is used to connect to the Google Drive API is only checked and confirmed once it has 100 active users. As long as less than 100 active users use this function via this plugin, you will always see this message. You can confirm it via “unsecure” and still complete the connection of your Google Drive with your WordPress website.
