@jayofelony so, what exactly doesn't work in this case?

it should be possible to get a ID by its name and it should be possible to create a new directory. So the approach makes sense overall. We just need to see where exactly it breaks.

My bad, I am searching in the drive for a folder that does not exist. I edited the post a little with errors thrown.

SO basiscally I know the folder does not exist, so I need it to be created. Because a user can change the backup folder if they want.

Could you check this example https://github.com/iterative/PyDrive2/blob/main/examples/Upload-and-autoconvert-to-Google-Drive-Format-Example/upload.py#L38 and try to "play" with a query a bit? I think you might need to pass something like this:

query = {'q': f"title = '{filename}' and mimeType='{mimetype}'"}

Check also this doc. And also I would try to run it first on the online sandbox here.
