To access your files stored in Google Drive, ensure that you have installed the Google Drive App on your device:

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/google-drive-online-backup/id507874739


Once installed, launch the App - and then sign-in to your Google Account from the App. Once signed-in to the Google Drive App, you should be able to access your files using the native Files App.

Use a New App Password:

Do you use an App Password? If so, try a new App Password. Sometimes, changes (i.e. updates) are made to the device, and then mail server syncing becomes an issue (which is what a new App Password it intended to fix). For example, you'd go here for gmailSign in with App Passwords - Google Account Help - Google
