Working with drive objects throws "TypeError: unsupported format string passed to type.__format__" #464
Description
The problem
When working with iCloud Drive objects, the str/type/repr functions throw errors. This apparently is due to the "rf" string complexities. I was able to resolve this by replacing "rf" string line in pyicloud with concatenated standard and "f" strings.
Environment

pip show pyicloud):

Name: pyicloud
Version: 1.0.0
