After I approved access, the browser said the page can't be reached. What happened?

\n

Short answer: The sign-in had already stopped in Storage Studio — the sheet was closed, cancelled or timed out before you approved. The confirmation page only exists while the sheet is waiting. Start again and approve while it waits.
