Google Drive API v3: Invalid field selection

I am using Google Drive API v3 to access about the drive like space quota.

And, no matter what I do, I am stuck with this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Google_Service_Exception' with message 'Error calling **GET https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/about?fields=name**: (400) Invalid field selection name' in /var/webs/includes/google-api-php-client/src/Google/Http/REST.php:110 

Stack trace:
#0 /var/webs/includes/google-api-php-client/src/Google/Http/REST.php(62): Google_Http_REST::decodeHttpResponse(Object(Google_Http_Request), Object(Google_Client))
#1 [internal function]: Google_Http_REST::doExecute(Object(Google_Client), Object(Google_Http_Request))

$googleClient = $this->getClient();
$googleClient->setAccessToken($accessToken);
$googleDrive = new Google_Service_Drive($googleClient);
//fields can be found here: https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/migration#fields
$optParams = array(
    'fields' => 'name'
);
print_r($googleDrive->about->get($optParams));

Please check that I am already making a perfect URL for the call: GET https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/about?fields=name But, still there is this error. Is there any parameter I am missing?

Please, can anyone tell me if there is problem with the API itself?

This error occurs because name is not a top level key. The valid top level keys are: kind, incompleteSearch, nextPageToken, and files. To get just the file's name you have to fetch it using files/name.

To get the nextPageToken and the file names you can do the following: fields=nextPageToken,files/name.

for getting files with all the possible fields I've used files/*

example request https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files?fields=files/*

In v3 the fields definition has changed, it should be 

fields=storageQuota,user/displayName

instead of 

fields=name

Anyway, I have no exprience with PHP.

Ref:
https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/about https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/reference/about

You can check yourself all the fields available: For now these were the fields I found: appInstalled, exportFormats, folderColorPalette, importFormats, kind, maxImportSizes, maxUploadSize, storageQuota & user.

If you need to check which fields are allowed, please go to https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/reference/about/get & do "Try It!".
