Switching google account with drive access

[Tanzim mahtab]

Hey folks, 

Here is my current code to access the Google Drive files in the popup ( it works )  :

// manifest.json

  "oauth2": {
    "client_id": "xyz.apps.googleusercontent.com",
    "scopes": [
      "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive",
    ]
  },

// popup.js 

chrome.identity.getAuthToken({ interactive: true }, function (token) {})

I added a button to switch accounts and used this same method to pick a Google account when the button is clicked:
chrome.identity.getAuthToken({ interactive: true }, function (token) {})

But, as I am already logged in,  it does not work ( the Google account picker does not pop up and the token in the callback is the previously logged-in token ). 

Is there any way to switch accounts with Google Drive access?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi Tanzim!

You need to clear the existing token by calling chrome.identity.clearAllCachedAuthTokens. Once it is removed, you can call getAuthToken again to go through the original flow.
