check and use ~/.gdrive/credentials.json

I tested this and it seems to work.

If a user has created their own project, and generated creds for it, and downloaded credentials.json ...
they can save it in ~/.gdrive/credentials.json, and gdrive will now open it and use the clientid and secret from it.

Yeah this is much much simpler than the pull request I wrote.

Can you add some documentation to the README? Feel free to base it on the docs in 4916e16

[ppbrown]

If this is accepted, I'll then put in some effort for more docs ;)

Has there been any progress?

(This feature had been very helpful when I encountered "Provided id is not a sync root directory" while syncing multiple machines.)

I forked to my repo and merged this PR, it works like a charm, thanks a lot for sharing this.

BTW:

~/.gdrive/credentials.json from Google API Console Credentials where you need to create an OAuth-kind-credential and choose Desktop Application for it, and then just simply download the JSON file to the location, the raw file name should be something like client_secret_744022377843-8sodljr9k1eupkn7ok257kj6d5q0ltpq.apps.googleusercontent.com.json

If this PR still doesn't get merged you can try to install my repo as below:

go get -u github.com/caryyu/gdrive
go install github.com/caryyu/gdrive

then, open a new terminal window(make sure GOBIN/GOPATH is configured in your bash/zsh profile) and put your downloaded json-file to ~/.gdrive/credentials.json and try the command below:
