Google Apps Script – Get folder name from folder ID?

let's say I know the folder ID

var folderId = '************ID************';

I would like to get the name of the folder with that folderId. I tried to use getName() and combine it with this code without success.

It sounds like a basic task, but I can't figure out the working code. Is it even possible? Any ideas?

Okay, the solution seems to be quite easy:

function folderName() {
  var folderId = '************ID************',
      folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderId);
  Logger.log('Folder name: ' + folder.getName());
};

I hope this will help noobs like me.

You don't need to use the Folder Iterator. You can call the folder directly:

var folderId = "yourFolderIdString999"
var name = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderId).getName() // returns name string

You can also call the folder ID directly in the name variable rather than using an ID variable (unless you need it in other places).
