drive init generates link that returns Error 400: invalid_request

[AJPoulter]

executing drive init generates a url for https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?.. that, when used, returns 400, invalid request. Further error message: You can’t sign in because drive for Google Drive sent an invalid request....third party app is using an unsupported OAuth method.
Using the alternative service account option (referencing the generated json credential) does work but the drive resources that can be accessed with the service account are not those of the user account for which the service account should act as a delegate, even though the service account is added to a project with google drive api enabled and has a Google Workspace Marketplace-compatible OAuth client associated with it.

• Note: setting the Subject in the generated credentials.json to the private user gmail account results in:

Response: { "error": "unauthorized_client", "error_description": "Client is unauthorized to retrieve access tokens using this method, or client not authorized for any of the scopes requested." }

consider this repo looks like not being actively maintained, transition to alternative seems more viable for general user.
Sounds like an some changes been done on google side, maybe some enforcement/changes of roles/scope of Oauth, also maybe need to request and change the official api key.
I believe this bug is not that hard to resolve, a pr is very welcome obviously

Maybe its #1142 ???
