Search for folder with parents set in google drive api

I want to search for folder in google drive, but I need to deal with case that folder doesn't have parent.

$file = $this->service->files->listFiles(
                                array('q' =>  
                                       "mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder' 
                                        and trashed = false 
                                        and name = '".$name."' 
                                        and '".$parent."' in parents" ));

I don't know how to set last parameter, according to documentation it should be like that, but when parent is NULL it doesn't return anything.

All files have parents root is the parent of everything. I don't think I understand what you are trying to do. Search for a folder in drive all you should need is mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder' and name = 'test'

Tip:

Use string format to avoid issues with your quotes.

string.Format("mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder' and trashed = false and name = '{0}' and '{1}' in parents",name,parent  )
