AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'files'
I fixed this error by reverting to version 1.4.10, so I assume some issue was introduced into 1.4.11.
For completeness here is the entire code used to reproduce the error,
from pydrive2.auth import GoogleAuth
from pydrive2.drive import GoogleDrive
from google.colab import auth
from oauth2client.client import GoogleCredentials
auth.authenticate_user()
gauth = GoogleAuth()
gauth.credentials = GoogleCredentials.get_application_default()
drive = GoogleDrive(gauth)
downloaded = drive.CreateFile({'id': "[GDRIVE_FILE_ID]"})
downloaded.GetContentFile('file.tar.gz')
The file is a .tar.gz file-type stored inside a Shared Google Drive directory.
