    Seems this Google sync option is broken now. Got this error when trying to enable Google account sync: Authorisation Error Error 400: invalid_request You can’t sign in to this app because it doesn’t comply with Google’s OAuth 2.0 policy for keeping apps secure. You can let the app developer know that this app doesn’t comply with one or more Google validation rules.
