pydrive.auth.RefreshError: Access token refresh failed: invalid_grant: Token has been expired or revoked

so I was building a project which included me saving some in google drive and this is part of the code I used

gauth = GoogleAuth()
gauth.LoadCredentialsFile("mycreds.txt")
if gauth.credentials is None:
    gauth.LocalWebserverAuth()
elif gauth.access_token_expired:
    gauth.Refresh()
else:
    gauth.Authorize()
gauth.SaveCredentialsFile("mycreds.txt")
drive = GoogleDrive(gauth)

It worked fine for a some days but then I started getting this error

pydrive.auth.RefreshError: Access token refresh failed: invalid_grant: Token has been expired or revoked.

It came from the gauth.Refresh() line so does anyone know why this happened and how to fix it?

Let remove content of mycreds.txt first.

Then you have to create a settings.yaml file and set get_refresh_token is True

This is the setting file that I am using, hope it help

client_config_backend: 'settings'
client_config:
  client_id: "<copy client_id from client_secrets.json here>"
  client_secret: "<copy client_secret from client_secrets.json here>"

get_refresh_token: True
save_credentials: True
save_credentials_backend: 'file'
save_credentials_file: 'mycreds.txt'

oauth_scope:
  - "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"

I tried removing settings.yaml and run the code again, it should ask you to "login" to your google account. It worked for me.

I ran into a similar problem with pydrive2. The issue is caused by a revokation of your GDrive.

Try to delete the credentials.json in your root directory and authenticate once more.
