I spend to much time answering questions on Stack overflow.
Keep getting contacted about issues with service accounts not having access to peoples drive account. Remember service accounts need to be preauthorized.
I put up a YouTube Short to show how to do it. 54 seconds its that easy

Took a bit of Googleing but I managed to figure out how to find my Package Name form my Maui Android section.
I need this to create a client on the authorization server.
I still havent figured out where these settings are defined. +1 for com.companyname 😁
Im serously impressed that I got Maui working with @jetbrains Rider with only a few issues.
I am working on Google apis authorization. So far API keys, service accounts and UWP work. I suspect I need to dig around to find my Xamarin example to get Android auth working.
I just found another great question on stack overflow.
Download a XLSX file from google drive in memory and open it with pandas in python. What a fun question.

It only took me about ten minutes to work it out. Not bad for someone who has only been playing with Python for about a month.
i think i type faster one handed than most people type two handed.
typing classes in school for sic years will do that i guess, or a twenty five year carrier as a programmer 😁😉
Links back to a question on stack overflow I just answered.
Little known fact. You can use the About.Get method in google drive api to get the email address of the currently authenticated user. Without needing to request email scope permissions of the user.
ATTENTION EVERYONE WRINGING THEIR HANDS OVER “#MASTODON ADMINS CAN READ MY DIRECT MESSAGES”: #SysAdmins have *always* been able to read your #email and DMs unless encrypted, including at the big #SocialNetworks and Internet providers. We used to have t-shirts that said, “I READ YOUR EMAIL.”
It’s just hitting now because you got used to places where the admins were kept away in their cubicles and data centers instead of greeting you at the front door.
I am going to try a new format for my videos. I need to stop the four day editing cycle its just not fun.
