Lot's to digest here. The impending updates covered in the latest GSuite announcement is bound to impact apps that leverage the Drive API. See link below:

Indeed, not a dull moment

I just started to migrate some projects from DriveApp to Drive.Files, so I will need to understand if I'd be affected

I am using the following code in GAS to fetch the content of a file (Text/Json content)

They don't mention the downloadUrl, but not sure if I understand the whole change yet

function getFileContent(fileId, mimeType) {
  return UrlFetchApp.fetch( Drive.Files.get(fileId).downloadUrl, {
    'contentType': mimeType,
    'headers': {
      'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()
    }
  }).getContentText();
}
