Get ID of newly created Folder in Google Apps Scri

问题:

As part of a Google Apps Script project, I'm trying to move the active spreadsheet and several uploaded files to a new folder that is created within a shared directory.

I have been able to create the new folder with:

DriveApp.getFolderById(parentFolder).createFolder(rename);

But to be able to move the files where I need to know the ID of the folder that's just been created.

The rest of the code works ok - if I just put in a string as another folders ID everything gets moved. I'm just stuck on actually finding that new folder ID.

Any ideas?

You can retrieve folder ID using "getId()". For example, your code can be written as follows.

var id = DriveApp.getFolderById(parentFolder).createFolder(rename).getId();

If the folder name is only one on Drive, you can retrieve folder ID from folder name like below.

var id = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(rename).next().getId();
