It is possible for the document owner to lose editor access to their own documents if a co-author transfers the file into their Google Drive.
- Owner A creates a file and saves it.
- Owner A invites Coauthor B to the brew.
- B makes an edit, saves, and becomes a full Author on the brew.
- B transfers the file into their own Google Drive:
- If it was in A's Google Drive, B can still transfer it into Homebrewery storage
- From Homebrewery storage, B then transfers into their own Google Drive
- All co-authors and guests can still see the file, but Owner A can no longer open the Edit or Share page
- If Owner A does not have Google Drive, they get a 401 "Not logged in", as we attempt to use Oauth credentials that don't exist
- If Owner A does have Google Drive, they get a 404 "File not found", as they do have OAuth credentials but not to B's drive
- Guests and other coauthors can open the file, because the Service account is used if you are not the owner
