Hi @bl4ckck,

I followed the code in the snippet, but I was unable to reproduce your issue. However, I did need to change a few things in order for it to work:

1. I needed to authenticate appropriately, as it says in the sample: // TODO (developer) - Use appropriate auth mechanism for your app. I did it like so:

 const {authenticate} = require('@google-cloud/local-auth');
  const {google} = require('googleapis');

  const auth = await authenticate({
    keyfilePath:
      'path-to-oath2-credentials',
    scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive'],
  });
  google.options({auth});

  const service = google.drive({version: 'v3', auth});

2. It seems that files.get only applies to binary content, i.e., not docs files (something like a PDF). For that, you'd want to use export.

Feel free to paste your code here to see if I can reproduce better, in case there are any differences.
