Create Folder

UiPath.Core.Activities.CreateDirectory

Description​

Creates a folder in the specified location. If a folder with the same name already exists at the specified path, the activity does nothing. If a parent folder that does not exist is specified in the path, the entire path is created.

note

When using this activity in Studio Web projects, local paths are supported only when the project is published and run on a machine that has access to said local paths.

  • Folder name - The full path of the directory to be created.
    note

    If the automation is run on both Windows and Linux machines, when setting the Folder Name path, it is recommended to use relative paths to match both Windows and Linux environments. For example, use myFolder instead of C:\myFolder.
