Google Drive Auto Sync is grayed out about my-notes HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi,
is this problem happening on the version installed from Web Store, or is it a manually installed version (downloaded zip)?
Which browser are you using? Any useful messages in the browser's console?

Hi Dev,
could you try to check out Chrome's console if any message pops out when you try to enable Google Drive Sync?
Here's how to open Chrome's console:

Hi,
can you try to upload the screenshot again?
You should see similar messages to these in the Console:

Permissions - Requesting permission "identity"
Permissions - Acting on added permission "identity"
SYNC - START
SYNC - IN - CREATING NOTE - some_note_name_here

Or at least see some error. Try to also check this page (open in new tab), if things are enabled:
chrome://settings/syncSetup

This problem occurs when service worker (basically something in the background that reacts to user actions or other events when they occur) is innactive and so it cannot handle the action. See chrome://extensions in a New Tab and My Notes details for this info. Clicking on the Refresh icon to reload the extension resolves this issue.

Details

This issue shouldn't be happening in the first place, because service worker is event-based, and it should be started anytime its needed (in case it was shut down and disposed due to not being needed for some time, to free-up resources). In this case, we make following uses:

chrome.storage.local.set               # to enable Auto Sync on click
chrome.storage.onChanged.addListener   # to react to enabled Auto Sync, to check the checkbox when enabled

Closing this issue as I don't see how I could solve it. One solution in the past used to be, to use background worker and making it persistent which didn't unload it when it wasn't needed. This solution is no longer acceptable in Manifest V3 extensions, where background worker was replaced by the mentioned service worker. This also applies to My Notes.
