This from Google drive support in response to me asking them how to gain
access;
Currently, Google Drive does not have a feature where you can set a pin
or password to a certain files. Google Drive only saved the files the
way we created it. If you forgot the password on the file you want to
access you need to contact the program developer who created the apps or
program you used prior saving it to Google Drive.
Since you are trying to unlock Libre Office documents, you need to reach
their support for further assistance.
Libre Office Community Support
Libre Office Professional Support
When you contact Libre Office Support, please let them know that you
need help with the 6 digit PIN so that it will allow remote access from
your Libre Office account.
Where does the 6 digit pin originate?
I imagine even if LO fixes the issue then "newer" LO users who haven't
previously availed themselves of the service simply won't have a 6 Digit
PIN.
That's certainly my situation. I'm not trying to access existing files,
just trying to implement the cloud storage for some CALCs by File> Open
Remote> Add Service (from the dropdown menu defaulting to Manage
services.

long-standing LibreOffice bug (1) and seems unresolved.
