Im calling request from google workspace file with gapi using this code
gapi.client.drive.files.export({
fileId: fileId,
mimeType: 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document'
})
from that code i get response back of base64 string to convert as a blob but when i open file in google docs or msword file is corrupt and not working but if i change mimeType into application/pdf it working
same thing also happen in if i request file with application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
am i doing something wrong here or i there is other way to getting file workspace
md5Checksum is not available
Finally i found solution for this issue according to this official documentation we have two type we can download from google drive.
here my code how i request for file
const res = await drive
.files
.export({
fileId: fileId,
mimeType: yourMimeTarget
})
.then(res => res)
const blob_file = fetch(`data:${yourMimeTarget};base64,${btoa(res.body)}`)
.then(res => res.blob())
so after you fetch google workspace file you will get base64 string than you can convert it into blob
As mentioned in the official documentation for files.get:
Response
By default, this responds with a Files resource in the response body. If you provide the URL parameter
alt=media, then the response includes the file contents in the response body. Downloading content withalt=mediaonly works if the file is stored in Drive. To download Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides use files.export instead. For further information on downloading files, refer to Download files.
