Using gdrive with an expired token:

$ gdrive about
Failed to get about: Get https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/about?alt=json&fields=maxImportSizes%2CmaxUploadSize%2CstorageQuota%2Cuser: oauth2: cannot fetch token: 400 Bad Request
Response: {
  "error": "invalid_grant",
  "error_description": "Bad Request"
}

which is really confusing.
It would be nice to have a note about expiry and have it re-authentication the same way as for first time users.

I figured this error I was seeing was due to my token being expired... do you happen to know how to provide gdrive a new token?

Figured it out. Do the following:

# remove the token file
rm ~/.gdrive/token_v2.json
# run the about subcommand to re-prompt you for authentication:
gdrive about

Yup - error message was so confusing I had no idea this simple problem was the issue. Delete the json and start again. Schimples.

Please update the error!
