Remarks

Typically, you access StorageFolder objects as the result of asynchronous method and/or function calls. For example, the static method GetFolderFromPathAsync returns a StorageFolder that represents the specified folder.

Additionally, whenever you call a file picker to let the user pick a folder the file picker will return the folder as a StorageFolder.

Examples

This example shows you how to call a file picker, using FolderPicker.PickSingleFolderAsync to capture and process a file that the users picks.

After PickSingleFileAsync completes, folder gets the picked file as a StorageFolder.

In the example, folderPicker contains a FolderPicker object. To learn more about using file pickers see FolderPicker and Quickstart: Accessing files with file pickers.

Additionally, folderToken gets an identifier that you can use to retrieve the folder from the FutureAccessList. To learn more about storing files and folders so you can access them again later, see FutureAccessList, MostRecentlyUsedList and How to track recently used files and folders.
