## Synopsis
```
PetscErrorCode PetscGoogleDriveAuthorize(MPI_Comm comm, char access_token[], char refresh_token[], size_t tokensize)
```

## Input Parameters
- ***comm -*** the MPI communicator
- ***tokensize -*** size of the token arrays
## Output Parameters
- ***access_token -*** can be used with `PetscGoogleDriveUpload()` for this one session
- ***refresh_token -*** can be used for ever to obtain new access_tokens with `PetscGoogleDriveRefresh()`, guard this like a password
it gives access to your Google Drive
## Notes
This call requires `stdout` and `stdin` access from process 0 on the MPI communicator
You can run src/sys/webclient/tutorials/googleobtainrefreshtoken to get a refresh token and then in the future pass it to
PETSc programs with `-google_refresh_token XXX`
