Google Apps Script - Add file from Google Drive

First of all I want you to know that I'm not talking about uploading a file from users computer drive.

What Im aiming to do is to be able to allow users to add a file from their Google Drive to a specific folder in my Google Drive. I've searched around (a lot) and I can't find anything similar.

Have you ever seen this window? I could use something like it (it's in spanish but im sure you've seen it before). It allows you to upload a file from your pc or from your Google Drive:

enter image description here

Is it possible to access this pop up windows through Google Apps Script? If not, what are the alternatives?

What you can do, is use the Drive Picker API to allow users to chose files from their google drive.

Then once you have the File, you can add it to your folder.
