I am using this javascript quickstart for the Google Drive API v3 (which i got here)
(i correctly filed my client id and my api key)
<p>Drive API Quickstart</p>
<!--Add buttons to initiate auth sequence and sign out-->
<button id="authorize_button" onclick="handleAuthClick()">Authorize</button>

<script async defer src="https://apis.google.com/js/api.js" onload="gapiLoaded()"></script>
<script async defer src="https://accounts.google.com/gsi/client" onload="gisLoaded()"></script>
So when i click on Authorize it will display a pop-up authorize Google to access my drive, and it will display the metadata of the first 10 files.
The problem is that every time i refresh the page, i need to authorize Google to access my drive.
Is there anyway to make that persistent ?
I'm planning to add a button to call listFiles(), instead of executing it when handleAuthClick() is treated. (sorry if my english is bad)
