I think it's technically also part of the OAuth 2.0 - https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/service-account

Alternatively to OAuth2.0 client authentication *PyDrive2* can use Google Service Accounts for authentication.
This type of authentication is useful when developing a servers side application which doesn't interact with endusers.

1. create a service account in the Google Cloud Console

Hi @shcheklein
unfortunately I will not be able to work on the pydrive in the foreseeable future, so feel free to adapt the PR as you wish.
Thanks for the nice contributor experience so far, and for maintaining the tool, I really appreciate that.
