Google Drive API grant access to another/multiple Apps

Currently, we have a mobile App that is storing data into a Google Drive folder using the scope

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file

View and manage Google Drive files and folders that you have opened or created with this app

Now we are planning to add a web app as well. The problem is, that the web app cannot access files uploaded by the mobile app and vice versa.

So is there a way to tell the Google Drive API that those two apps (web app and the mobile app) are in fact the 'same' application? I want to avoid using the scope for full access to the user's Google Drive.

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive

Or is there another way that both apps can read/write the same folder?

Thanks in advance.

I also took a look at the Google Picker API but it does not seem to be what I want.

Posting this for documentation purposes.

As mentioned in comments, both apps should be part of the same Google Cloud Platform project, that's the only way to "tell" the API that they are the same application.

If they are not part of the same project, you should use the drive scope instead.
