In Google Drive, how do you find the folder a file is contained in? For example, say you search for a file named big_apple.jpg and find it. Is there a way to know which folder it is in, for example maybe you uploaded it to a folder named pictures ?

The "Location" is shown in the file details in the right column. This is the same whether you are in thumbnail or list view.
In the screenshot below, the selected file is in the folder "TEST".
It would probably be more useful if this information was immediately available in list view or something, but it does not seem to be.
UPDATE 2022-06-22: The folder location is a clickable link that takes you to that folder. There is also a clickable breadcrumb trail at the bottom of the page that shows the complete folder structure.
