Hi @lero
welcome back to our community!

Are you using a service account?
This issue is already under our radar, already fixed and just waiting for an internal review.
It will be released as a fix in the coming version of n8n.

You can some info in a similar thread here:

Google Drive Error : Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'pipe')

All works fine? Unfortunately it’s broken for me as well. I do not have a workaround at the moment apart from using OAuth2, but we will of course update this thread once a fix for the service account functionality is available.

All the best

Yeah. It’s a service account.
Thanks for the heads up I’ve tried the workaround from V1 and it worked!
