# Get Folder Info

> `UiPath.Box.Activities.Folder.GetFolderInfo`

`UiPath.Box.Activities.Folder.GetFolderInfo`

The **Get Folder Info** activity uses the Box [Get folder information](https://developer.box.com/reference/get-folders-id/) API to retrieve specific file information from a specified folder (**Folder Id**).

After retrieving the information, the activity outputs the details of the folder in `BoxFolder` object (**Box Folder**)

## How it works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the [Setup](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/box-setup) steps.
2. Add the [Box Scope](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/box-scope) activity to your project.
3. Add an activity or run an external process that outputs a `Folder.Id` value (e.g., [Create Folder](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/box-create-folder), [Search for Content](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/box-search-for-content), etc.).
4. Add the **Get File Info** activity inside the **Box Scope** activity.
5. Enter a value for the [Input](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/box-get-folder-info#get-folder-info) property.
6. Create and enter a `BoxFolder` variable for the [Output](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/box-get-folder-info#get-folder-info) properties.
   * Your input property values are sent in the [Get folder information](https://developer.box.com/reference/get-folders-id/) API operation request.
   * The operation returns the 'BoxFolder' values to your output property variables.

To get the **Folder ID** value, add an activity or run an external process that outputs a `File.Id` object (e.g., [Create Folder](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/box-create-folder), [Search for Content](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/box-search-for-content), etc.).

### Misc

* **Private** - If selected, the values of variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level.

### Output
