Google Drive API, scope issue

[Sayan Nanda]

Hi,

I am trying to download files which have been selected by a user using the drive API. The user selects a folder and I download all the files within that folder. This is working fine when I use the drive scope but I am trying to do the same with a drive.file scope. The problem arises because I am not able to access any of the files within that folder. Is there any way I can work around the problem? Right now I am running a list command and I obtain all the files whose parents match with the folder which the user selected.

Thanks,

Sayan

The drive.file scope specifically states 'View and manage Google Drive files and folders that you have opened or created with this app'. You won't be able to see any objects with that scope unless they belong to the application that created them in the first place.
