Setup

In order to work Drive Copy needs three information:

• Client ID
• Client Secret
• Authorization code.

The application will ask to insert them via console the first time it tries to reach Google Drive. The three information, after inserted, will be stored in a configuration file called drivecopy.properties.

Steps to obtain Client ID and Client Secret

• Create an API project in the Google APIs Console.
• Select the Services tab in your API project, and enable the Drive API.
• Select the API Access tab in your API project, and click Create an OAuth 2.0 client ID.
• In the Branding Information section, provide a name for your application (e.g. "Drive Copy"), and click Next. Providing a product logo is optional.
• In the Client ID Settings section, do the following:
• Select Installed application for the Application type.
• Select Other for the Installed application type.
• Click Create Client ID.
• In the API Access page, locate the section Client ID for installed applications and note or copy the two pieces of information you'll need later: the Client ID and the Client Secret.

Steps to obtain Authorization code

• After Client ID and Client Secret has been inserted, the application will show an URL.
• Enter the URL in a browser and eventually login to Google.
• Authorize the application.
• Copy the response code from the webpage and paste it in the console.
