However since the changes in authentication imposed by google, libcmis
is merely used for the purpose of having a unified model across
different online services. Authentication is handled by LO now, and
that will have to change again since Google will fade out and
ultimately disable the copy'n'paste method.

TDF didn't apply for the advanced privileges yet (never would be
approved with the copy'n'paste method), so access is limited to files
you create with LibreOffice/are explicitly shared with LibreOffice.

Yep, most definitely not :-)
