tGoogleDriveGet can't download Google Spreadsheet?

Hello,
I have been using talend for some time and I am usually able to find an answer to any question I have in these forums.  However I could not find a solution to my problem which has lead me to create my very first post.
I have successfully made a connection and I am able to download files using tGoogleDriveGet such as pdf files or image files.. however I cannot download the Google spreadsheet that is generated from a Google form.  
tGoogleDriveConnection ---> tGoogleDriveGet
Name of File: "QA Form (Responses)"
Save To: "/Users/me/Desktop/QA Form (Responses)"
Prefer to download in CSV format.  Any assistance appreciated.
Thanks so much.
Al

Hi,
Did you get any error when you download the Google spreadsheet by using tGoogleDriverGet?
We have a related new feature jira issue: https://jira.talendforge.org/browse/TDI-28114
In addition, here is a custom component tGSpreadsheetInput shared on Talend Exchange
TalendExchange:tGSpreadsheetInput

Hello Sabrina,
Apologies for not being specific.
I have tried tGSpreadsheetInput however I receive an error here regarding Authentication.  I believe it may be due to oAuth2

edit:
when I print out to the console a tGoogleDriveList results, I can see all the pertaining documents in the google drive.  Here I can see that talend is able to detect and list all the contents of the folder, including the QA form (google form) and the QA form responses (google worksheet) :

Hello,
I am still struggling with this issue.  
I am sure there must be a way to download contents of a Google Sheet using Talend.
Thanks,
Al

Hi Alvin, Sabrina
I got exactly the same issue. I however can connect to google drive with the tgoogledrivelist component but the tgoogledriveget doesn't work - same log errors than you !
Note that I tried to do a save-as file with a prepared xls file and this is not working as well.
There aren't many configuration on this component and if the API is working I'm wondering if it has ever been working !

Mehdi
