Occasionally, your Authorization to an integrated app will need to be updated or changed to match updates made to that account if it is not functioning correctly, or you just wish to remove the access to your external app. In these cases, you will need to remove or reauthorize the app with the following steps.


Remove an External App:

Log in to your DAKboard account. On the left side of the screen, click on the App Authorization tab. This will open the list of all of your authorized accounts linked to your DAKboard account. See below:



To revoke the App in question, locate it in the list, click on the three dots '...' to the right of the App, and select the option presented to Remove or Revoke the service as seen in the example below:



NOTE: Some services may say something similar to Revoke, like Remove or Delete instead. This is based on the verbiage used by the app in question for the removal of authorization and not DAKboard. This different verbiage will accomplish the same action.


Reauthorize an External App:

To reauthorize, you must first follow the steps above to remove the app, then go back to your screen, click on the block you need to add the account to, enter the block editor page, and click the add an account button for the service you want to authorize. Follow the steps to link your account again. This will create a new token and allow your service to begin functioning again.


NOTE: Some services, like Google, Dropbox, and Microsoft, for example, will hold on to the permissions of a removed service like DAKboard, should you wish to reauthorize them. These permissions may be incorrect or holding on to cached data that could prevent you from correctly reauthorizing the account. You may have to go to your account management pages, search for Third Party Apps or Associated Apps, find the DAKBoard App, and remove it from their end as well to remove these bad permissions. See the associated accounts support page to learn more about how to remove external apps if this is the case.

Why has my Google Photos block stopped working?


As we have shared on our Blog, via email and notifications, Google has changed its API integration on ending support for DAKboard to access your photos with the older method. This officially ended on 5/25/2025. Because of this, the Google Photos Block has been removed and can no longer be used. However, DAKboard has developed a new integration to import your Google Photos into the DAKboard Media Library so that you can use the new Google Photo Picker to download images to the DAKboard Cloud. 
See our articles How to Download Google Photos to your Media Library and How to Use the Media Library Photo Block to learn more about this. The Media Library offers 200MB and 500MB for Essential and Plus subscriptions, respectively.  If your needs require more than the media library, we offer several integrations with the following providers that support larger storage options:
