For example, if the URL is https://drive.google.com/file/d/123nyR2IjW_Rq84d3qEYRoq1/view, the file ID is 123nyR2IjW_Rq84d3qEYRoq1. Alternatively, you can find the file ID in the output of other Google Drive triggers and actions.
File name	The name for the newly copied file.
Destination folder	The folder you plan to place the newly copied file in. Select a folder or enter its ID. You can find the folder ID at the end of the folder URL. If entering the folder ID for a shared drive (formerly Team Drive), this value must be in the form folder_id/shared_drive_id (for example, 1fm6iCMYrN7roZZ-ynpVFRTVq9mellrWp/0AB6ZFCw3XdamUk9PAA). By default, the copied file is placed in the same folder as the source file.
