How to see user's files on google drive via angularjs?

I've read almost all api reference in google. There was a method to get a file or upload a file. In get file you need to pass file id: 

var request = gapi.client.drive.files.get({
    'fileId': fileId
  });

But what I want to achieve is to get users permission through my app (client app), and I then should see users' files. User himself should choose one of the the files.

Is there any way to achieve it?

if the purpose is to allow the user to choose one of his own files, then you might want to consider using the JS Picker https://developers.google.com/picker/docs/

If you really want to retrieve the list of files into your app, then the simplest way is to use $http.get with a url of https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files

In your question you posted code to do a GET, rather than a LIST. GET (https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/get) will fetch all of the meta data for a single file, given its ID. LIST (https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/list) will fetch meta data for all files (generally qualified with a q parameter to filter out trashed files).
