poor google drive documentation

[mikestaub]

I followed the docs but still was unable to see my google drive files, I saw this in my server logs:

uppy: 2019-02-19T04:08:31.493Z [error] provider.drive.teamDrive.error [object Object]
uppy: 2019-02-19T04:08:31.493Z [debug] provider.auth.check drive failed authorizarion test err:[object Object]

When I modified the library to JSON.stringify() the error object, I saw this:

{"error":{"errors":[{"domain":"usageLimits","reason":"accessNotConfigured","message":"Access Not Configured. Drive API has not been used in project 27000000 before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/drive.googleapis.com/overview?project=274881616448 then retry.

You must enable the API from the google dev console to use this with your app. This was not obvious.

@mikestaub how were you able to pass the Google key and secret without enabling the API from the dev console?

[mikestaub]

I was not able to. The problem is the documentation makes not note about enable the API from the google dev console.

this is now fixed at #2345
