Hi @superpunchypp ,

Could you let us know what you mean by Choose folder location ? Do you want the user to chose their required intended folder location or do you already have a dedicated Folder location which would be constant always ?

For User to choose Folder Location, we could use Browse For Folder activity, which lets us to chose the Folder Path, we can then get the value from its output. Then use it in Create Folder activity.

@superpunchypp ,

Path.Combine is used to combine the Strings mentioned in it together. More on it is in the documentation below :

We are using Two Strings to be combined :

  1. Selected Folder Path by user (selectedFolderPath variable)
  2. Folder Name (Folder to Create was used directly, can be a string variable as well)

A more visual explanation could also be observed when performed Debugging. I believe we had already discussed on the same Method explanation.
