@leo2  
It is not impossible to process using make only, but it would be difficult.  
When creating a Google Drive folder, you need to specify the ID of the parent folder. If it is a path, it will not work.  
I created a template list of folders in Spreadsheet and created a scenario based on the information in the sheet as a sample.  
[blueprint-sample-createFoldersFromSpreadsheet.json](https://community.make.com/uploads/short-url/txsCki1iqfWOYOi5GmJV6Apf8DV.json) (85.1 KB)

The columns in Google Spreadsheet are structured as shown in the below image.

I hope you find this useful as a reference.
