I am trying to sync data between my C# desktop application and an Android application. I got the desktop app running as intended with no problems. However I want to access the data uploaded by the desktop app with the android app and that is where I run into issues.

This is how I connect to drive in my android app.

 myGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                .addApi(Drive.API)
                .addScope(Drive.SCOPE_APPFOLDER)
                .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                .build();
    }
    myGoogleApiClient.connect();}

This is what happens when i look into my drive Settings>Manage Apps. There appear to be two apps.

I created an "OAuth 2.0 client ID" in order to access drive from my android device. I assume this is where I made a mistake. How should I do it in order to access the same app data folder on my google drive from both of my apps?

Just to clarify, you're asking how to access your Drive files using your Android app? – ReyAnthonyRenacia May 20 '16 at 17:54
I am trying to access the same drive application data from my PC and Android, and I am struggling with the Android app. I can get it to access drive but not the same data as my desktop app – FishFishFish May 20 '16 at 18:13
Can you try this [thread](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34136349/how-to-get-list-of-all-folders-and-files-from-google-drive-in-android). It might be of help. – ReyAnthonyRenacia May 20 '16 at 19:23
I dont think thats what I am looking for. I want to access the same app data folder from both apps, but when I try two of those get created instead of sharing one. – FishFishFish May 20 '16 at 23:21
Have you resolved this? I'm not sure you can access the Android appfolder with your desktop app, vice versa. – ReyAnthonyRenacia Nov 03 '16 at 07:16
No, unfortunately I did not solve this. – FishFishFish Nov 09 '16 at 09:03
maybe it's not possible yet – ReyAnthonyRenacia Nov 09 '16 at 09:24
