GGoogleDriveToDrive

A simple example of a program to download and export files from Google Drive.

Attention!

To use authorization for the Google Drive API, client secrets embedded in the code are used as standard. You can try to use this data or use your own. Alternatively, you can put the file "client_secrets.json" in the directory with the executable file. This data can be taken from Google Cloud Platform (https://console.cloud.google.com/), using OAuth 2.0 Client ID. You can also see an example of this file: client_secrets.example.json.
