# Get Folder Items

> `UiPath.Box.Activities.Folder.GetFolderItems`

`UiPath.Box.Activities.Folder.GetFolderItems`

The **Get Folder Items** activity uses the Box [List items in folder](https://developer.box.com/reference/get-folders-id-items/) API to retrieve the folders and files stored in the specified folder (**Folder ID**).

After retrieving the items, the activity outputs the file details in an `BoxFile[]` object (**Files**) and the folder details in an `BoxFolder[]` object (**Folders**).

## 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 Folder Items** 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-items#get-folder-items) property.
6. Create and enter `BoxFile[]` and `BoxFolder[]` variables for the [Output](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/box-get-folder-items#get-folder-items) properties.
   * Your input property values are sent in the [List items in folder](https://developer.box.com/reference/get-folders-id-items/) API operation request.
   * The operation returns the `BoxFiles[]` and `BoxFolders[]` values to your output property variables.
