Google Drive access using Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.GooglePlayService.Drive component

Before starting, make sure that you have performed the following steps:

1. Enable Google Drive on the Google API developer console.

2. Create credentials using the package name and SHA-1 signature

    - For debug, the SHA-1 must be taken from the debug keystore used by Xamarin to sign the app
      keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.local/share/Xamarin/Mono\ for\ Android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
      
    - For release, the SHA-1 must be taken from the keystore used to sign the app
