Create a new folder in Drive using Google App Script

Question

Is there a way to create a google app script to create a new folder in Google Drive that is NOT IN THE ROOT FOLDER? A script to move a folder in the root to a particular folder will also do.

Answer 1

var parentFolder=DriveApp.getFolderById(DriveApp.getRootFolder().getId());
  var newFolder=parentFolder.createFolder("name folder")

Answer 2

If you are going to need the folder ID to let's say move or create a file there you can do the following.

var parentFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(parentFolderId);
var newFolderID = parentFolder.createFolder("New Folder Name").getId();

Then you can do this

DriveApp.getFolderById(newFolderID);

Answer 3

The folder object has a createFolder method, see doc here. so you should simply get the folder you want and create the new one from there.

Answer 4

getFolderById seems to be removed.

Try this:

function createFolder(parentFolderName)
{
  var folders = DriveApp.getFolders();
  while (folders.hasNext()) {
   var folder = folders.next();
   if(parentFolderName == folder.getName())
     folder.createFolder("Folder Name");
 }
}
