Example: Consider an example where the "Upload" activity is used to upload a file named "1.txt" from the local drive to a folder named "Uploadhere" within Google Drive:
Upload:
Display Name: "Upload Text File"
Upload File Path: "D:\\myfiles\\uploadthis\\1.txt"
Folder Name Or Path: "Root\\Uploadhere"

In this example, the activity uploads the "1.txt" file to the "Uploadhere" folder within Google Drive. The result of the operation (success or failure) is stored in the Boolean variable "isUploadSuccessful" for further handling in the workflow.
