# PetscGoogleDriveAuthorize
Get authorization and refresh token for accessing Google drive from PETSc 
## Synopsis
```
PetscErrorCode PetscGoogleDriveAuthorize(MPI_Comm comm, char access_token[], char refresh_token[], size_t tokensize)
```
Not collective, only the first process in `MPI_Comm` does anything


## Input Parameters

- ***comm -*** the MPI communicator
- ***tokensize -*** size of the token arrays



## Output Parameters

- ***access_token -*** can be used with `PetscGoogleDriveUpload()` for this one session
- ***refresh_token -*** can be used for ever to obtain new access_tokens with `PetscGoogleDriveRefresh()`, guard this like a password
it gives access to your Google Drive



## Notes
This call requires stdout and stdin access from process 0 on the MPI communicator

You can run src/sys/webclient/tutorials/googleobtainrefreshtoken to get a refresh token and then in the future pass it to
PETSc programs with -google_refresh_token XXX
