Here's how you do it in V3. It's called "setting a parent" since once the file is inside the folder it will also inherit the sharing options of the parent it's in.

Below 2 lines will set the name of the file and then setParents will define what folder you want to put the file in. Parameter is an array but don't put more than 1 item or you'll get an error:

$file->setName("world");
$file->setParents(['SOME_UNIQUE_FOLDER_ID']);
