Hi @EhtishamSabir,

We have samples for Google Drive here and here however users have mentioned in #531 that this documentation needs improvement. Please update #531 which is linked to internal bug trackers if you have additional feedback for the Google Drive Samples. I'm going to close this issue as a duplicate of #531. I'm going to update #531 once I have an ETA from the team working on the samples.

Googlers see b/190226456 and b/185393300 for updates.

Here there is no documentation on using pickel file for saving session. because user can't manually confirm authorization each time.

Sorry I was angry after doing lot's of searching. but please guys update documentation otherwise AWS is going to lead in next few years :)

    # Check if file token.pickle exists
    if os.path.exists('token.pickle'):
        # Read the token from the file and
        # store it in the variable self.creds
        with open('token.pickle', 'rb') as token:
            self.creds = pickle.load(token)

    # If no valid credentials are available,
    # request the user to log in.
    if not self.creds or not self.creds.valid:

        # If token is expired, it will be refreshed,
        # else, we will request a new one.
        if self.creds and self.creds.expired and self.creds.refresh_token:
            self.creds.refresh(Request())
        else:
            flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
                'credentials.json', SCOPES)
            self.creds = flow.run_local_server(port=0)

        # Save the access token in token.pickle
        # file for future usage
        with open('token.pickle', 'wb') as token:
            pickle.dump(self.creds, token)
