When Firewalla notifies me that my phone has sent data to googleapis, the only option is to allow it once.  Is there a way to allow this all th etime, as the phone sends this data very frequently.  Alternatively, what will be affected on th ephone if I blocl this transmission?

  When you allow a particular alarm it will give you a set of options to allow, like below (use dropcam as an example).  Here you should allow the domain *.dropbox.com 

  The reason allowing this is, the nest  is sending data to dropcam, which is perfectly normal.  

  As of googleapi, we do not recommend blocking it.  It will likely block many services that may be legit. 

  And hopefully, things will be clearer in the future, we @melvin is working on to make the decision part simpler

  Thanks.  It would be useful to be able to allow this permanently, if it is so useful, and that option is not currently available
