Create a Service Account by going in the Service accounts section

Choose Manage keys from the three doc Actions Menu on the right. Create a new JSON key and store it safely.

Using the private key

The private key will be downloaded once to your computer and cannot be downloaded again. It needs to be regenerated if lost.

Enable API access

Create the shared Drive

In the Gmail account, create a Shared Drive.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ADYbcKYesgiXUk9PVA

Share the shared drive with the service account you have created

You can find the service account email inside the JSON key downloaded
