// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

bool success = true;

// This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
// Google Drive scope.

// The access token (and refresh token) was previously saved to a JSON file with this format:
// See Get Google Drive OAuth2 Access Token

// {
//   "access_token": "ya29.Gls-BsdxTWuenChv ... yzVIrXikkLxu5T6dy4I6GjADFardoz4Lruw",
//   "expires_in": 3600,
//   "refresh_token": "1/tMBJ ... 27D-Hk6rpQYBA",
//   "scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive",
//   "token_type": "Bearer"
// }
