User reviews
If anyone doesn't know how to change permission to your Google Drive and uninstall app, go to "manage your google account" setting on your chrome browser (click on your profile image on the top right corner of the page).
Then click on
"Security>(Scroll down to 'Singing into other sites')>Signing in with Google>Anyfile Notepad"
then from there, you should be able to stop the app from accessing your Google account and Google Drive.
Then go to your Google Drive in your Google Account on Chrome Browser (there should be a column of apps listed, such as "Calendar" "Keep" "Tasks" etc.., under your profile picture on the right side of the page.)
Click on the Plus Sign that will show "get add-ons" as you hover your mouse over the Icon. It should then direct you to "Google Workspace Marketplace".
Click on "Settings>Manage Apps>The two buttons on top right of the Anyfile Notepad Icon>Uninstall.
Viola! I hope this helped many that did not know what to do to uninstall the app :)

Jesús Eduardo Flores Ángeles, 2021-04-27In spite of the numerous _very_ negative reviews, this app works fine and appears to have ongoing support. It does need extensive permissions to access your Drive, which certainly could be a factor in deciding whether to use it. Do check out the author's website and FAQ.
