Drive folder search failed: ${searchRes.status} ${text}

Error message

Drive folder search failed: ${searchRes.status} ${text}

What it means

The Drive files.list query looking for the 'Screenity' folder returned a non-OK HTTP response. Thrown in findOrCreateScreenityFolder when searchRes.ok is false — usually an expired/insufficient OAuth token, quota, or transient API error — so the upload cannot locate or create its destination folder.

Solutions

1. Refresh the OAuth token on 401/403 and ensure the drive/drive.file scope is granted
2. Parse the Drive JSON error in `text` for the exact reason (rateLimitExceeded, insufficientPermissions)
3. Back off and retry on 429/5xx per Drive API error guidance
4. Verify the query encoding and that the Drive API is enabled for the project
