It is true that googlesheets and googledrive both request full Drive scope, so that you can use the packages to access any file you have permission for on Drive. I, as package author, however am granted no permissions to see your files.

You can read more about Drive scopes here:
https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/about-auth

It is NOT true that Drive scope confers permissions re: the Gmail or Calendar API.

If this clarification does not get things unstuck for you, please come back. It is possible that googledrive and an upcoming reboot of googlesheets could expose more control over scopes. And for people in your situation, maybe https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file would be an option. I'd have to play around with it and see what sort of workflow it permits.
