===Initial authentication and authorization===
 
−
Before using GDrive from the HiPerGator environment, you must give it permission to access your Googe Drive.  Do that by following the steps below.
 
−
 
 
−
* Load the module and then initiate authentication using "gdrive about":
 
−
$ module load gdrive/2.1.0
 
−
$ gdrive about
 
−
 
 
−
* If authentication is needed (e.g. it is your first time using the module or your prior authentication has expired), you will then get the following prompt:
 
−
Authentication needed
 
−
Go to the following url in your browser:
 
−
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?access_type=offline&client_id=...
 
−
Enter verification code:

−
 
 
−
 
 
−
* Copy and paste the supplied URL into a browser on your desktop.
 
−
 
 
−
* In that browser, log into your '''UF Google account''' using your '''UF credentials'''.
 
−
 
 
−
* You will then be prompted that "project-367116221053 wants to access your Google Account...See, edit, create, and delete all of your Google Drive files".  Read the note below and, if you are comfortable with this, click [Allow].
