There are four ways to create a new file:
I was able to use the DriveApp to create a file in a specified folder this way.
var driveFolder = DriveApp.getFolderByName("MyDriveFolder");
var file = driveFolder.createFile(formObject.txtReceipt);
file.setName("MyFile");
PS: formObject.txtReceipt is coming from a file upload control on a form in the html and this returns a blob
