Thanks for your tests!
are all accounts share the same JSON file
Yes.
What should I do to prepare JSON if I'd like to use different google accounts (with customized domains) too?
In steps 19+20 of the
Instructions, add all the mail addresses of the accounts you want to use with the plugin. I have updated the instructions accordingly.

Multiple Google Drive accounts testing success with 2.40b3.
Additional notes:
The JSON file is only Credentials. If new accounts added later, it doesn't need to re-create credentials or re-download JSON. Just add those mail addresses with steps 19~23 and everything should work.

Yes, you don't need to update the JSON file. You can also use the same JSON file for the Android plugin and the Windows "cloud" plugin.

I have problems with the last step.
What extension should the .json file should have?
When I select Settings&Privacy -> JSON -> Open json file...
My .json file is grayed out and I can't select it.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin.
The name of my file is:
client_secret_219053156504-ailuvk36ulr9qfedbt09vb4k75tfcs9d.apps.googleusercontent.com.json

Yes, it should be .json. The problem is that some older phones do not have a mime type "application/json" defined, so when I request an open dialog for it, nothing can be chosen. This was fixed in version 2.41 of the plugin (which is now available in the Play Store and elsewhere), which uses "application/octet-stream" if no mime type is found for json. Can you check which plugin version you are using?

The plugin version of drive I have is 2.41, directly from Google Play. Updated on Aug 1, 2024.
I have a Samsung S23 phone less than a year old.
Do you prefer that I raise a bug report for better follow up?
If there's a way to check what mime types are available on my phone, let me know. I'm willing to install a little app if needed.

Solved!
I just renamed the file as:
cliente_apps_googleusercontent_com.json
And I was able to select it. Thanks for this excellent plugin.
Keep up the good work! You've helped countless of people to be productive with all your apps.

Ah, I see, so the open dialog has trouble with multiple dots in a name...

Hello! I did everything according to the instructions. Json was successfully applied. What should I do next? When I click on the account, I get to the browser, select my account and Google tells me that totalcmd has not passed verification. Please tell me.
The same thing with an account added manually.
I also tried the method from the first page.

my account and Google tells me that totalcmd has not passed verification.
There should be an option to "Continue anyway" or something like that.

I suddenly thought that maybe it's about my app that I created in Google API. It says "not verified yet". I'll wait.

in the menu APIs & Services - OAuth consent screen I added my account to the list of Test users. It helped. Now the extension works
