Forbidden - perhaps check your credentials? Request failed with status code 403

Hello everyone,
I’m trying to setup a RAG in which the workflow reads all the files from my Google Drive, downloades them and the inserts them into Pinecone.
The problem occurs when it comes to more than 1 file. I’m trying to download 30+ files (90% of them are either .docx or .pdf). But the error persists all the time.

hello @macomuck

this error usually means you are trying to download something you don’t have access to, or something that is not a file (e.g. folder).

Hello.

I’m encountering the same problem, when trying to insert the file id, though it works if I manually select a file…

hello @Victor_Donea

I suppose the “Images” is a folder and not a file. That’s why you can’t download it. ID that you’ve pasted is not the same as the ID with from the issue.
