Google Drive (gdrive)
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. When adding a storage with --type gdrive, an interactive flow opens in the browser to authorize access to your Google Drive. The token is stored locally in DVS secrets; no manual parameters are required.
dvs storage add mygdrive --type gdrive
Requires DVS to be run with the OAuth redirect URL configured (e.g. via dvsctl or equivalent). Only one admin instance should expose the OAuth callback for the flow to complete correctly.
