When does this happen?
IF On Windows, the server-gdrive package fails to locate the gcp-oauth.keys.json credentials file because it incorrectly prepends 'C:' to already absolute paths, resulting in errors like 'Cannot find module C:\C:\Users\...'.
How others solved it
THEN Use fileURLToPath and path.dirname to derive the correct __dirname in ESM modules, then resolve the credentials file path with path.join or path.resolve relative to that directory. This avoids double-prepending the drive letter on Windows.
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
const __dirname = path.dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url));
const keyfilePath = process.env.GDRIVE_OAUTH_PATH || path.join(__dirname, '../../../gcp-oauth.keys.json');Related patterns
