Desktop GDrive app requires Java Script browser

Hi,

I am building a desktop app to sync files between Zoom and Google Drive. When connecting to GDrive, Google requires a browser that supports Java script to receive the authorization . Running the app from bash shell, it displays google authorization page on blue screen and then could not authorize.

Any ideas on how to overcome this issue?

It sounds like you're using the wrong API -- one that is designed for use in desktop apps rather than server-side apps. If you search for a server-side version of the GDrive API (perhaps "headless" would be a good keyword) then you will hopefully find the one that you need.
