Hi there, I’m trying to download files created by someone within the same organization with Python SDK, but I get e403] access_denied_insufficient_permissions



I can get file’s information (file id and name) with client.file(file_id).get(), but I get the above error when I try client.file(file_id).content().



Here’s my app’s status





  • Authentication with Client Credentials Grant (already authorized)


  • Both reading/writing files are allowed


  • The service account has the access to the folder as Editor.




Could anybody give me advice on the cause of this error?


Thank you.
