In my PC, It cannot open the blowser with activity “Browse for folder”.
This activity will open a blowser automatically, but it didn’t do anything.
What can I do?
Is there something I should check?
I’m very bigginer of UiPath and I’m not good at English.
If you know about it, I’m appriciate to telling me.

Hi @K_M1
Browse for Folder opens a dialog box at runtime to select a folder to use later.

Configuration
Selected folder path - The full path of the selected folder.
In the Properties Panel
Options
DisplayName - The name displayed for the activity in the Designer panel.
Private - If selected, the data used in the activity is not logged.
Output
SelectedFolder - The full path of the selected folder.

Hope you understand!!Clarify what is your exact query.

Regards

Welcome to the community

If you are on windows 11…it was observed already that browse for folder is not opening the prompt or is opening only the desktop prompt.This is an open bug

Welcome to UiPath forum

Basically this activity opens a dialog box at runtime to select a folder to use later.

Well there could be few reasons why Browser for Folder is not working

Selected folder path - The full path of the selected folder should be configured properly

Run the workflow in debug mode to see what’s happening. Set breakpoints and step through the workflow to understand where the issue is occurring.

Verify that you have the necessary permissions to open folders and browse for folders in the location you’re working with. Sometimes, access restrictions can prevent these activities from working.

The “Browse for folder” activity opens a system dialog for selecting a folder. Make sure no other dialog boxes or pop-ups are open, which could interfere with the process.

Try to restart your system once if the above troubleshoot doesn’t work

Let us know for any clarification

Hope this helps
