Store access token from Google OAuth 2.0 to access drive data from application account

Question

I am able to execute quickstart.py for Google Drive using python. But how do we store the token and use it again - again for the same user without prompting user. Is their some way i can map user with access token when sending request for file on Google drive.

Accepted Answer

There are many different `Storage` types offered by `google-api-python-client`, some of which are well documented.

Some examples:

oauth2client.file.Storage:

```
from oauth2client.file import Storage
...
storage = Storage('a_credentials_file')
storage.put(credentials)
...
credentials = storage.get()
```

oauth2client.keyring_storage.Storage:

```
from oauth2client.keyring_storage import Storage
...
storage = Storage('application name', 'user name')
storage.put(credentials)
...
credentials = storage.get()
```

oauth2client.appengine.StorageByKeyName:

```
from oauth2client.keyring_storage import StorageByKeyName
from oauth2client.keyring_storage import CredentialsNDBModel
...
storage = StorageByKeyName(CredentialsNDBModel, some_user_id, 'credentials')
storage.put(credentials)
...
credentials = storage.get()
```

oauth2client.django_orm.Storage:

```
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from oauth2client.django_orm import Storage
from your_project.your_app.models import CredentialsModel
...
user = # A User object usually obtained from request.
storage = Storage(CredentialsModel, 'id', user, 'credential')
credential = storage.get()
...
storage.put(credential)
```
