Unable to link Google account for Quickbooks backup export
[RESOLVED]
When performing attempting to link a Google account, we are unable.
We click the button in QBO to link the account, step through the process with Google, click the right buttons to approve, get no error message from Google, but then redirected back to an Intuit page that displays the following:
{"status":"FAILURE","errors":[{"timestamp":"2026-08-27T19:14:21Z","errorCode":"BNR-545","errorMessage":"INVALID_OR_MISSING_SCOPES_1P","errorDescription":"You still need to authorize QuickBooks Online to connect to your Google Drive. You can do this by linking it again from the Advanced settings page in Account and Settings in QBO Application. Make sure to select the checkbox that allows us to export your backups to your Google Drive."}]}
Any suggestions?
[UPDATE]
This appears to have been a transient issue as it worked after about a half hour.
