title: Access Google Drive API v3 with Ruby on Rails
body: <p>I would like to access my Google Drive account via their API inside of a Rails application. The idea is that I will store files, but I don't believe I need to implement any authorisation for it (like with <code>Oauth2</code>, for example), since I only want to access <em>my</em> account.</p>
  
  <p>I have been researching for 2 days, but the Google documentation seems very confused and not very clear.</p>
  
  <p>I started in vain with this guide <a href="https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/ruby" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/ruby</a> and tried to co-opt it for use inside of Rails, but since it relies on storing a token file returned upon authentication, I figured this wasn't really the right approach.</p>
  
  <p>I don't have any code to share, just looking for some clarity on how I can achieve what I'm trying to do, or indeed if it's even possible.</p>
  
  <p><em>Additional Info:</em></p>
  
  <p>I'm using Devise for my own authentication, so implementing <code>omniauth</code> through that would be an option if it's necessary. I looked through some documentation around that which Devise has on their side, but I didn't want to go through that (it seemed like a lot) before knowing it was the correct course of action.</p>
