How can a user disable google drive access for an app?

Question

In order for google drive api calls to work, a user must install the app through the Chrome Web Store. I would like to know how to undo this process for testing. I tried uninstalling our CWS app, but drive api calls are still going through just fine. Is there some additional step beyond uninstalling the app that's necessary?

Answer 1

You can uninstall apps from Drive through the "Wheel" top right menu > Manage Apps... > Options > Remove this app.

If you just want to test the auth flow again (you know the first time you do open-with or create-new you go through the OAuth 2 grant screen) you can go to the following page https://accounts.google.com/IssuedAuthSubTokens . It lets you revoke OAuth access to apps, if you revoke access to your app the next time you do open-with or create-new you will go through the OAuth 2 grant screen again.

(Very useful since only the first time you exchange the auth code will you get a refresh token)

I would usually do the later for development it's easier than uninstalling + reinstalling an app.
