# Read a picked cloud file's bytes

One file from the caller's own connected storage, base64: :source is drive (a Google Drive file that is NOT a Google-native document - an .xlsx, .csv, .pdf or image) or onedrive (an id from get_onedrive_files). Answers {name, contentType, contentB64}. A Google Sheet is refused with 422 because it has no bytes of its own - read it through the Drive export instead. Refuses over 25 MB with 413 rather than truncating. Reach for it once a person has picked the file to attach.

Access class: `workspace`.
