Hi,

I’m trying to get a folder as DriveItem which is recently created CreateFolder activity in sharepoint but Find Files And Folder is not returning that folder.

I did check query, subfolder, sharepoint url, authentication and all is correct.

The drive where I’m doing search contains more than 200 folder.

Thanks

Hi @Rohit_More

After using CreateFolder, add a delay of 5-10 seconds before invoking Find Files and Folders. SharePoint can sometimes take a few moments to index newly created items, especially in directories with many folders.

@Rohit_More,

I think issue is with more than 200 folders. It’s a limitation of the activity.
Also, I advise to no to use the Classic Find Files and Folders activity has been deprecated in version v2.7.21.

The image is a deprecated documentation page for the UiPath activity "Find Files And Folders," which details its functionality, including the use of Microsoft Graph APIs to search files and folders, the return of search results, and some usage limits and alternatives. (Captioned by AI)

Use For Each File or Folder instead.

Thanks @tolga.kamci & @ashokkarale for your help

I did check and found that it’s creating the folder and have sufficient time between find files & folders and it looks like there’s limitation with the activity itself.

I’ll try to utilize Graph API for this.
