How to Build?

• Create a Google Console Project
• Enable Drive API
• Create OAuth Client ( Application type: Web application)
• Add CLIENT_ID & CLIENT_SECRET in local.properties

Note: You can configure all the constants in Constants.kt ( client id, secret, redirect uri etc.)

What scopes are used?

List of all drive scopes

This app uses https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive scope as it needs permission to get() or download the file in order to stream it.

Q. What operations does it perform using the drive scope?

• This app for the most part only lists files granted which can be done using drive.readonly scope but it also needs permissions to download the file so the video player can stream it. So to answer the question, app performs two operations

  • List files
  • Download files

Thanks to mpv-android for buildscripts to compile libMPV and MPVLib MPVView.

Note: App releases are built using rclone's client id.
