osascript wants access to control system events

I started my mac and noticed a alert saying "osascript wants access to control system events".

I press "don't allow".

The Google drive app should show 2 icons at the upper line since i have 2 different google drive account connected to my mac.

One of the google drive account isn't working.

When I'm trying to reactive the google drive account which isn't working the alert pops-up again "osascript wants access to control system events".

I checked the "Console logs" and can't see the words "google drive" or any other app i know about.


how can i solve it?

thanks a lot!

Hello AmitSh,


​Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. If I understand your post correctly, you're being prompted to allow access when you activate a Google Drive account, and you're finding the account doesn't work if you don't allow the requested access; is that right?


Try clicking Apple menu () > System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Then, click the Privacy tab, followed by Accessibility in the left-hand column. This is typically where you would be able to see which apps are requesting control access, and where you can allow or deny these requests. Do you see Google Drive here?


I hope this helps get you started.


Cheers.
