Hi there

I had the exact same issue - for the same error message when trying to add the folder from my gmail on my phone. Also when using my tablet. I had to copy the url and paste it into my Samsung Internet and get into my account that way. Then it would load and it now shows on my phone app.

Whilst I also found a work around, probably helpful for you to know others are having the same issue.
