Google Drive API v3- create a folder inside a folder in Java

Question

I'm trying to develop a method in Java that enables creating a folder inside of a specific folder in Google Drive, but what I found in Google documentation (https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/folder) is creating only a folder or moving a file to a folder. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Just take what the API gave you for creating a folder and inserting a file in a folder and combine them.

From the API site: 'The parents property can be used when creating a folder as well to create a subfolder.'

String folderId = "folderID";
File fileMetadata = new File();
fileMetadata.setName("Invoices");
fileMetadata.setParents(Collections.singletonList(folderId));
fileMetadata.setMimeType("application/vnd.google-apps.folder");

File file = driveService.files().create(fileMetadata)
.setFields("id, parent")
.execute();
System.out.println("Folder ID: " + file.getId());
