Parent Folder ID	To create a folder within another folder (or nested folder), there are two methods to get the parent folder ID or location for the card: Copy the end of the URL into the card to get the parent folder ID. For example, if the link was https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8CedcLXfL-xSHpiQEYyZDYyfEU, copy and paste the bolded region after the slash as the Parent Folder ID. You can also search for the folder to get the ID. Create a form which asks for the name of the parent folder, and then with a Search Folders action card return the Folder ID. This ID can then be used as the Parent Folder ID in the Create Folder card. Note: A value for the Parent Folder ID field is required if you select Yes on the Shared Drive? option drop-down.
