For someone coming from .Net background, use:

string fileId = request.ResponseBody.Id;

To get download link also, remember to set

request. Fields = "id, webContentLink";
string fileId = request.ResponseBody.Id;
string downloadLink = request.ResponseBody.WebContentLink;

In order to get download link you will need to set shared permission to the uploaded file after uploading the file.

var permission = new Permission { AllowFileDiscovery = true, Type = "anyone", Role = "reader" };
await driveService.Permissions.Create(permission, request.ResponseBody.Id).ExecuteAsync();

For example:

$file = new Google_Service_Drive_DriveFile();
$file->setName($fileTitle);
$result = $service->files->create(
    $file,
    array(
        'data' => file_get_contents(FILE),
        'mimeType' => 'application/octet-stream',
        'uploadType' => 'multipart'
    )
);

Var $result contain all information about uploaded file,so all you have to do is to display or use id.

echo 'Uploaded file id is '.$result['id'];
