You need to use Path Exists activity and pass folder path into it to check whether specified folder existing or not. If it existing then it will give output as True then you no need to create folder else you create folder using Create Folder activity.

@Mayyur - no need to check if the path exists first. If you use the ‘Create Directory’ activity it will automatically create the specified folder + subfolder(s). If the specified folder already exists, it will do nothing.

@Mayyur - @lakshman’s solution should work for you.

@Mayyur - you have your Check Directory activity outside the loop. Therefore it is only looping until it finds a path that already exists. You need to restructure the workflow so the entire thing is contained within your loop.

I prefer using a for loop for this sort of a thing since it auto-increments the counter. Here I have taken your .xaml and streamlined it a bit. Let me know if it is working the way you’d expect:

If you want to do this all in one step you can also use the Directory.GetDirectories command in an invoke code activity. This will return a list of folders, you can sort the list as desired and get the first or last entry using assign activity to determine the highest counter number.
