I still don\’t get why Google Drive is used for verification when there is so many other better ways. Not even everybody have Google Drive.
Personally I got a bit offended when it wanted that access to my google drive. As it is meant for personal use and may contain personal files and info.
The Airbnb Engineering team said the app uses it when you are asked to go through Verified ID: https://twitter.com/AirbnbNerds/status/463743616729362433
Thanks for looking into that! Sorry for not replying sooner. I hadn’t seen your comment until now.

Yeah, it’s definitely weird. I think you can sign up without using Google though can’t you?
