You can find the answer to your question in examples from official Google's API PHP Client repository:

$file = new Google_Service_Drive_DriveFile();
$result = $service->files->create(
    $file,
    [
      'data' => file_get_contents('path/to/your/file'),
      'mimeType' => 'application/octet-stream',
      'uploadType' => 'media',
    ]
);

// $result->id is the ID you're looking for
// $result->name is the name of uploaded file

See the HTML example below, how you can use the $result object:

<a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=<?= $result->id ?>" target="_blank"><?= $result->name ?>
