Error when trying to get Google Drive File - google-app-engine

Question

I am getting an error when trying to get a Google Drive File using:
file = service.files().get(fileId=<googleDriveFileId>).execute()
The error is:
<HttpError 404 when requesting https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/0B6Cpn8NXwgGPQjB6ZlRjb21ZdXc?alt=json returned "File not found: 0B6Cpn8NXwgGPQjB6ZlRjb21ZdXc">
However, when I copy and paste that link directly in the browser like this:
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/0B6Cpn8NXwgGPQjB6ZlRjb21ZdXc?alt=json
I get a different error:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "usageLimits",
"reason": "dailyLimitExceededUnreg",
"message": "Daily Limit Exceeded. Please sign up",
"extendedHelp": "https://code.google.com/apis/console"
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "Daily Limit Exceeded. Please sign up"
}
}
I am no where even close to exceeding the daily limit, the console shows 0% usage.
I know the fileId is correct, I am using Google Picker to get the fileId.
Any ideas?

I have found elsewhere that this is known issue with Google Drive that they are working to resolve. They offer the following workaround that I have confirmed works.
Add the following to when building the picker:
enableFeature(google.picker.Feature.MULTISELECT_ENABLED).
complete code:
var picker = new google.picker.PickerBuilder().
addView(view).
addView(uploadView).
setAppId("pressomatic").
setCallback(pickerCallback).
enableFeature(google.picker.Feature.MULTISELECT_ENABLED).
build();
picker.setVisible(true);
This same workaround solves another problem I have posted about, when trying to upload to a specific folder with Google Picker using setParent on a DocsUploadView. You still add the same feature to the Picker, not the DocsUploadView, and everything works as it should.
