'name' is a string obj

I have a exsisting folder

name == folder.getId()

say I want to use manage_addFile('point', 'a point') into this folder with the getId() == name

but I can't do name.manage_addFile('point', 'a point') because 'name' is a str object

so how do I create a file inside a folder whose id is 'name'?

"to call upon this folder"? No idea what you mean.
