Give this a try before Google 'Fixes' it! I was just testing a simple API call when the response came back completely wrong. No error. No "file not found". Just... way more than I asked for. In this video, I show exactly what happens when you pass an empty or falsy fileId to Drive.Files.get() — and why it's behaving nothing like the documented REST API. Spoiler: it's not supposed to do this. You can find the full code in the Google Issue Tracker I submitted: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/486079026 Give it a ➕1️⃣ OR, even better, add a comment. === My Site ===🐐 https://yagisanatode.com/ === More on Google Apps Script === https://yagisanatode.com/google-apps-script/ === Products ===🐐 = Courses = https://yagisanatode.com/products-category/courses/ = Google Workspace Tools = https://yagisanatode.com/products-category/google-workspace-tool/ = Google Workspace Add-ons = https://yagisanatode.com/products-category/gwao/ #GoogleDrive #AppsScript #APIBug #Coding #GoogleAPI #DriveAPI #yagisanatode
