Hello Prateek,

The Google Drive API allows a developer to create a folder by using the same function that creates a file, except you need to pass it a mime type of "application/vnd.google-apps.folder".

Here's the relevant documentation: https://developers.google.com/drive/folder

The link is https://developers.google.com/drive/folder which does not contain any PHP code. It is a standard REST/JSON response which can be parsed with any JSON library, such as the ones listed here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/338586/a-better-java-json-library .

Assuming you are using the Java Google Drive library (available here: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/wiki/APIs#Drive_API ) the relevant code to create a directory is basically:

    File body = new File();

    body.setTitle("Folder-Name-Here");

    body.setMimeType("application/vnd.google-apps.folder");

    File file = service.files().insert(body).execute();

    folderId = file.getId();

(Ignore the "File" object, Google Drive treats directories as a special "file")

Hey Sai,

If you have a specific technical question to ask, I suggest you do it at stackoverflow.com or serverfault.com (for application-programming and system-admin questions respectively). This forum is not really a place for specific technical questions, and this thread is already 2 years old.
