i'm trying to get list of files (images) from google drive :

  1. i create google project (google console)
  2. i activate google drive api on my project
  3. i create api key and client id

i'm using javascript to handle my request:

const API_KEY = '...';
const ID_CLIENT = '...';
const scopes = [
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file',
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly',
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.activity',
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.activity.readonly',
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata',
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly',
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.scripts',
    'Google_Service_Drive::DRIVE'
];

const googleDriveConf = {
    'apiKey': API_KEY,
    'clientId': ID_CLIENT,
    'scope': scopes[1],
    'plugin_name': 'Client Web deca'
};

function start() {
    // Initialize the JavaScript client library and auth.
    gapi.client.init(googleDriveConf)
        .then(function () {
            // Initialize and make the API request.
            const req = gapi.client.request({
                'path': `https://content.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files`,
                'method': 'GET',
                'params': {
                    'q': 'mimeType = "image/jpeg"',
                }
            })
            console.log(req)
            return req;
        }, function (reason) {
            console.log('auth: ', reason)
        })
        .then(function (response) {
            console.log(response.result);
        }, function (reason) {
            console.log('fetch files: ', reason) //error source
        });
}

gapi.load('client', start);

error response:

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "global",
    "reason": "insufficientFilePermissions",
    "message": "The user does not have sufficient permissions for this file."
   }
 ],

You may want to consult the JavaScript quick start

async function listFiles() {
    let response;
    try {
      response = await gapi.client.drive.files.list({
        'pageSize': 10,
        'fields': 'files(id, name)',
        'q': 'mimeType = "image/jpeg"',
      });
    } catch (err) {
      document.getElementById('content').innerText = err.message;
      return;
    }
    const files = response.result.files;
    if (!files || files.length == 0) {
      document.getElementById('content').innerText = 'No files found.';
      return;
    }
    // Flatten to string to display
    const output = files.reduce(
        (str, file) => `${str}${file.name} (${file.id}\n`,
        'Files:\n');
    document.getElementById('content').innerText = output;
  }

The error message you are getting does not make any sence to me. When looking at your code "The user does not have sufficient permissions for this file." is an error you would be getting if you were for example doing a file.get.

File.list would not return this error.
