How do I upload/download with Googledrive package using R?

I can upload a file using R to google drive. I can then find the file using r code. I CANNOT then download the same file using R.

I've looked through all the resources on the web, including stackoverflow, with no joy.

drive_upload("/Users/me/Desktop/abcxx.xlsx", type = "spreadsheet")
drive_find(pattern="abcxx", n_max=30)
drive_download("abcxx", type="spreadsheet")

I am getting this error:

Error in add_id_path(nodes, root_id = root_id, leaf = leaf) : 
  !anyDuplicated(nodes$id) is not TRUE
