5. Next go to Navigation menu -> APIS & Services -> OAuth consent screen.
   First thing to choose here is who will use the project. If you plan to allow use of Google Drive with HTTP Commander only for users of your organisation in the Google (if you have any) , then select "Internal". Otherwise, for public access, select "External". When you select "External", any user with Google account will be able to use integration with Google Drive (and "Edit in Google" feature) in the HTTP Commander.
   
   Second thing to decide is how deep yoou plan to integrate Goolge Drive with the HTTP Commander. HTTP Commander can use Google Drive for:
   • Edit office documents in the Google Docs. - In this case only /auth/drive.file scope is required and veriofication of the app is not required.
   • Sent files to/from Google Drive. - In this case /auth/drive scope is required and verification of the app is required.
   If you do not plan to use integration with Google Drive to exchange files between HTTP Commander and Google Drive, we recommend to add only /auth/drive.file scope.
   Please note, that Verification process is required to get rid of the Unverified app" screen only when /auth/drive scope is used. To get more information about verification process please read this article.
