INSERT INTO Folders
  WITH (Name='My folder name'
      ,ParentFolderId='root')
  --You can get ParentFolderId by selecting from 'list_folders' endpoint or just use 'root'

create_folder endpoint belongs to Folders table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).

Use these SQL queries in SQL Server after you create a data source in Data Gateway:

Create a folder

Creates a folder 

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'INSERT INTO Folders
  WITH (Name=''My folder name''
      ,ParentFolderId=''root'')
  --You can get ParentFolderId by selecting from ''list_folders'' endpoint or just use ''root''';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_GOOGLE_DRIVE_IN_GATEWAY];

create_folder endpoint belongs to Folders table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).
