Dear pros,
in PAD, they have the option to preset a folder path, so that user can simply select files from there to get the file path. I tried in UiPath but seems not able to. any advise is greatly appreciated!

Step 1: Store the selected folder path in a variable, for example, “FolderPath.”

Step 2: Use the “Assign” activity to set the “FolderPath” variable to the desired default folder path.

Step 3: Use “Select Folder” or “Select File” activity in your workflow, and set the “InitialFolder” property to the “FolderPath” variable.

Hi,

As per my understanding, In Power Automate, it is possible to select a folder and then choose files from within it. However, in UiPath, there might not be a built-in, preset option for this specific task, and you may need to create custom automation scripts to achieve it. But i hope above solution helped.
