Do File and/or Folder Ids ever change?

     File and Folder IDs are guaranteed to be unique and do not change over the item's lifetime — you're definitely okay to store those IDs and use them later to access the items.

    Hi ,

    You're correct that file and folder ID's never change. Once created, it has a unique ID that does not change despite moving it, renaming it or adding more content to the folder. Hope that helps your query!
