gauth = GoogleAuth()
gauth.LoadCredentialsFile("mycreds.txt")
if not gauth.credentials:
    gauth.LocalWebserverAuth()
elif gauth.access_token_expired:
    try:
        gauth.Refresh()

@heysmileyface I would recommend taking a look here https://iterative.github.io/PyDrive2/docs/build/html/oauth.html#automatic-and-custom-authentication-with-settings-yaml

and probably you can see some example here as well- https://github.com/iterative/PyDrive2/blob/master/pydrive2/test/test_oauth.py

@hagemouse PyDrive takes care of refreshing the token, unless something is wrong you don't need to refresh ti manually. It also can save credentials for you.

@shcheklein Can you please do a simple example? I tried above code by @hagemouse, but it threw errors. I can't understand the docs enough to get it running
