Google Photos Refresh Access Token

See more Google Photos Examples

Demonstrates how to refresh a Google Access Token. Refreshing an oauth2 access token does not need to display an interactive browser like when originally getting the OAuth2 access token for the 1st time. Your application can do it automatically without user interaction.
