Bug Description

When Ubuntu starts, if a Google Account is set up in Online Accounts and there's no working Internet connection yet, the Shutdown button goes red and so does its Online Accounts entry, complaining that Ubuntu could not connect to that account, and the user has to manually click the Authorize button. That's all s/he needs to do, so why not do it automatically after Ubuntu gets connected (and retry from time to time when already connected, in case of cable modems that which take a while to authenticate).

Thanks Pablo for reporting this issue; it looks like a bug in the application using Online Accounts, which attempts to use the accounts even when there is no internet connection.
I think that the google drive lens is the responsible here.
