Error in dirve_auth() when trying to access gdrive using R cloud

[ghost]

Hi, I am facing a problem in accessing google drive when I use Rcloud. I want to highlight that this does not happen when I use Rstudio on my laptop. The error I am getting is the following

`Error in `drive_auth()`:
! Can't get Google credentials
ℹ Are you running googledrive in a non-interactive session? Consider:
• `drive_deauth()` to prevent the attempt to get credentials
• Call `drive_auth()` directly with all necessary specifics
ℹ See gargle's "Non-interactive auth" vignette for more details:
ℹ <https://gargle.r-lib.org/articles/non-interactive-auth.html>
Run `rlang::last_error()` to see where the error occurred.

---` 

The access is blocked and I am forwarded to this page (see screenshot hereunder)

My code is the following

###########################################################GDRIVE 
# Access GDRIVE

drive_auth(token = readRDS("grdive_access.rds"))

As I said before this works perfectly when I use Rstudio installed on my laptop and indeed Tidyverse API has access to my account

Can anyone help me sort this out?

I really need to access gdrive from Rcloud

Thanks in advance

This is a result of an auth change (a method of auth being disabled) at Google.

The current version of the gargle package accounts for this change, so the solution is to update the gargle package:

install.packages("gargle")

ALSO VERY IMPORTANT: make sure to quit and restart any relevant R sessions, so they are using this newly installed version of gargle, not an older version currently loaded into memory. Things should "just work" again, although you will need to re-auth on affected platforms.
