As per your logs it seems that your 404 error is caused by a 403 error returned on the request to the Drive API.

"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"
 }
}

This one would typically mean that you have not enabled access to the Google Drive API on your Google APIs Console project. In order to do this:

• Open your project in the Google APIs Console
• Go to the Services section
• Enable the Drive SDK and Drive API by clicking the On/Off toggle
• Don't forget to configure your app in the Drive SDK section and your OAuth settings in the **API Access" section
