Create Sub Folder in Google Drive

Questions
1

Hi.

I have a question for google drive node.

I want to create a sub folder under an existing folder in google drive.

Can I specify a parent folder when creating a folder in google drive?

Just checked. That is currently not possible. That would have to get programmed first but should not be too complicated.

Did just commit something which should make it possible. Will be released with the next version:

Thanks. I tried.

I set parent folder id.
But folder was made in Root folder.
Is wrong how to set parent id?

Excuse me @jan

I think the following is correct.

GoogleDrive.node.ts
line 1080

const fileMetadata = {
	name,
	mimeType: 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder',		// -> comma
	parents: options.parents || [],						// -> move here
};

const response = await drive.files.create({
	// @ts-ignore
	resource: fileMetadata,
	fields: queryFields,
	//parents: options.parents || [],					// -> move out
});

please check.
