If the user is present/interacting with your app whenever you need to connect to the Drive API, then you don't need to do anything special. Whenever the access token expires (ever 1h) just reauthorize in a popup (or hidden iframe if you set immediate=true in the request) and this will generate a new access token without re-prompting the user. This works so long as the user doesn't revoke access to your app.

If you need to access Drive in background proceses or queues where you can't interact with the user, then include access_type=offline when making the initial authorization request. This will produce a refresh token in addition to the access token. The refresh token can be used to obtain new access tokens without user interaction so long as they haven't revoked access.
