Posted on by ryanrovan

I am trying to figure out how to create a Box folder using flow. I have been able to create files such as pdf's and word documents, but I need to simply create a folder. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Thank you for reporting ths issue. Currently we don't have a way to create a folder in Box.
You can use the following workaround, by creating a "dummyfile" inside the folder that you want created and then simply add an action to delete the file.
Like the below, where i wanted to create a folder by the name "FolderNew" under "F1"

HTH, please let us know if we can be of more help. 🙂

This seems to be the case with any of the storage services. It is a cool shortcut, if you know that it works that way.

Yes, this should be usable with most of the storage services. Since we automate the creation of a folder when you create a file, the create folder is not a first class action. Glad to be of help.
