Google setup
You will need to create an OAuth client id and secret for use with this application, the Drive API Python quickstart has links to the necessary steps.
Configuration
In order to make this go you will need to create file named gd.conf
where the code can find it (typically the directory in which you're
running the code, but you can also use the -f command line option to
specify an alternate location).
The file is a simple YAML document that should look like this:
googledrive:
client id: YOUR_CLIENT_ID
client secret: YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
Where YOUR_CLIENT_ID and YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET are replaced with the
appropriate values from Google that you established in the previous
step.
