Summary
When attempting to download a file from Google Drive, if the user mistakenly provided a folder ID instead of a file ID, the node was returning a generic:
403 Forbidden – check your credentials
This was misleading because the issue was not related to authentication/credentials, but to the wrong type of resource (folder instead of file).
This PR adds an explicit check for
mimeType === folder
, and throws a clear, actionable error message:The provided ID refers to a folder. Please provide a file ID to download.
This way, users immediately understand the root cause and how to fix it.
How to test
403 Forbidden – check your credentials
.After: clear error message about using a folder ID.
