    When I attempt authentication using a Google native application (which lists a client ID and client secret), and I additionally have the Drive API enabled within Google, I get an invalid_client shown.

    What I did notice in the text returned was that the original client ID looked like xxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyy.apps.googleusercontent.com, but the error only listed xxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com. I don't know if this is related.

    I have two factor authentication enabled and don't wish to disable it just to check if it resolves the issue.

    I believe your client ID is incorrect. it should to be in the format xxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com.

    The one with xxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyy seems to be auto generated when you create a new project using Google's new Cloud console. When you enable and configure Google Drive API, it should create a client ID in the correct format.

    Please see [ac8c4e18] for an ongoing discussion on this.
