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](https://academy.make.com/) 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 —
