GAS "The item with the specified ID could not be found or you do not have permission to access" error.

I want to use GAS to retrieve the specified folder in my google drive, but every time I run a script, I get an error message saying, "I couldn't find an item with the specified ID or I don't have permission to access it."

In order to gain access, you have already added the email address of your GAS account on the Sharing settings page of that folder.

I still get the above error message, but I would appreciate it if you could tell me what are the possible causes.
I'm sorry to ask you a rudimentary question.

Here is the actual code.
The folder ID name contains the folder / or later string of the URL.

function myFunction(){
  var myFolder=DriveApp.getFolderById('folder ID name'); // Get folder
  Logger.log (myFolder.getName());
}

Incorrect folder ID
- Mistake copying
- The string you think is an ID is not actually an ID
- The value of the variable holding the ID has changed without realizing it
The email address is incorrect
- Adding the wrong email address when setting permissions
- GAS is running on a different account than I expected
I do not intend to grant permission
- The folder you handle on your browser and the folder you specify by ID are different

GAS is running on a different account than I expected

The folder you handle on your browser and the folder you specify by ID are different

There are various possible causes, so I think it would be better to start by separating the causes.
