I have the same problem with my large apps, my solution was to duplicate google sheets data in a temporary spreadsheet… erase data to empty in the original one to make sheets smaller… then copy your app and put back saved data.  
glide should have a guide, how many rows or bites can be copyable

Are you trying to duplicate one of your own apps, or a template?  
Do you have other apps that use Google sheets?

My first thought is that you either created your glide account using an email other than a gmail account, or you signed in using a gmail, but with a password instead of using google authentication. It seems like it may be having trouble accessing your google drive.
