A vague description of setup

Open rohitdavas opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

The setup process that your code is following, I found it to be vague.

I mean : I installed drivedl than to use it first time it asks for credentials

(base) davas@davas:~$ drivedl Missing Credentials! Enable Drive API by clicking the blue button at https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/python Download the credentials.json file and save it here: /home/davas/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/drivedl

but there is not blue button at the link referred.

Could you please clarify the step ?

Oh it seems like google has changed its way of creating the credentials.json file. Earlier there used to be a handy blue button you could click to just download it. Now you need to fill up your email and then download.

The link to getting this file is here: https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-credentials I'll update the readme with this information over the weekend. Thanks for letting me know!
