Description
This is a really simple question. Not really a GitHub issue, but I have no idea where else to ask it.
I installed PyDrive2, created a project, created a service account, granted permissions, downloaded the permissions.json file, and cobbled together a basic Python script to store files on the account via PyDrive2. So far, so good.
The only problem is that I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to view documents uploaded through PyDrive2 in either Google Drive or Google Cloud Platform. Things that I tried without success:
* The files do not appear anywhere in the Google Drive volume that is associated with my GCP account.
* Google Drive won't separately allow me to login separately as the service account.
* The Google Cloud Platform console has a wide variety of storage options - buckets, cloud volumes, etc. - but no option for an interface to Google Drive.
So, as it stands, I can't view PyDrive2-uploaded documents through any kind of file UI. It's like they just disappear into the cloud and are accessible only through PyDrive2.
Any suggestions?

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by checking the PyDrive2 documentation and the Google Drive service-account access model to establish where uploaded files belong and how they can be viewed. Done means adding clear guidance that answers the reported visibility and login questions.
