Is the Google Drive's Root Folder Id permanent?
Will the Root Folder Id remain the same as long as the account exists?

As stated in the Work with Folders section of the api doc :

You can use the alias root to refer to the root folder anywhere a file ID is provided

That way you'll have the correct id for any user.
