Some users, like myself in the beginning, get startled when the script asks for full read-only access to the users Google Drive.
The permission comes with a frightening warning about the service being able to download all of the user's content, which includes medical and financial records etc.
So in this PR, I tracked the reason why Automate Habitica needs GDrive access and circumvented it. It turns out it accesses GDrive just to get the project name,
"Automate Habitica".I just created a global string with the value and referenced it throughout the code.
It does not ask for GDrive permission anymore.
