So today the answer is out of date API. So I have posted example of how to check the folder if exists with the new update of documentation:

     fun checkFolder(name: String):Boolean {
         check(googleDriveService != null) { "You have to init Google Drive Service first!" }
         return search(name, FOLDER_MIME_TYPE)
     }
    
     private fun search(name: String, mimeType:String): Boolean {
    
            var pageToken: String? = null
    
            do {
    
                val result: FileList =
                    googleDriveService!!
                        .files()
                        .list()
                        .setQ("mimeType='$FOLDER_MIME_TYPE'")
                        .setSpaces("drive")
                        .setFields("nextPageToken, files(id, name)")
                        .setPageToken(pageToken)
                        .execute()
    
                for (file in result.files) {
                    Log.d(TAG_UPLOAD_FILE , "Found file: %s (%s)\n ${file.name}, ${file.id} ")
                    if (name == file.name) return true
                }
    
                pageToken = result.nextPageToken
    
            } while (pageToken != null)
    
            return false
        }

private const val FOLDER_MIME_TYPE= "application/vnd.google-apps.folder"
