Welcome to the Make community!
The Google Drive “Upload a file” module should output a File ID when it’s successful.
You can simply map this id variable into a subsequent module.
I would suggest completing the Make Academy before jumping into building a complete scenario. If you need specific assistance when you are building a scenario it’s easier to help you then.
Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —
