My understanding is that you are trying to use Google Drive API from a console application. Or for that matter a fully desktop application.

Take one thing in consideration, if you don't use Service account you must let the user authenticate to google and allow your application to work in his/her behalf. There is no way around this.

What you can do is after the user has already signed in, is to save the tokens and refresh them whenever necessary.

Of course OAuth may be complicated, but you use the .NET library everything will be managed for you. And you can look at a real example in the .NET Drive Quickstart

Try following these steps: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/social/google-logins?view=aspnetcore-3.1

I have used those steps and worked perfectly for me. You don't have a choice than to be redirected to the Google authentication page. After entering your Google credentials, you are redirected back to the your site.
