    You can replace text value in selector with requird one.

     

    Also you can use sharepoint actions to interact with sharepoint if needed

    I have tried to find a solution using youtube videos (I don't know how many video clips I watched)

    Hi @happyyear 

     

    I think i have forget to handle the scenario when bot needs to select the 2nd folder like NN2 like below

     

    Nived_Nambiar_0-1680314768687.png

     

    I have used this selector in this case for NN2 folder, you can change the Text according to folder Name
