The version of the Google Drive connector is 1.0.1

Ensure that you have Enabled the Google Drive API in your project. Not enabling this also raises a 403 error. Also, mostly, Google API sends pretty clear message when you do something wrong. You can access the detailed HTTP response using error.errorMessage.payload and headers using error.errorMessage.attributes.headers
