File. Exist is the member of UiPath.Core.Activities.FileExistsX which itself explicitly defined for UiPath activities for StudioX.

While directory.exists is the member of System.IO.Directory.Exists. It is available in dot net method, unlike File.Exists, it is of type Boolean.

hello , I’m a beginner and I don’t know what you mean. Are both used to determine the existence of a file? So isn’t it the same?
