Remarks

Typically you get StorageFolder objects as the return value of asynchronous method calls. For example, the static method GetFolderFromPathAsync returns a StorageFolder that represents the specified folder.

Note that when you call a file picker to let the user pick a folder, the file picker returns the folder as a StorageFolder.

There is not currently a "MoveAsync" or similar method. One simple implementation of moving a folder might be to get the desired folder, copy it to the desired location, and then delete the original folder.

DateCreated	Gets the date and time that the current folder was created.
DisplayName	Gets the user-friendly name of the current folder.
DisplayType	Gets the user-friendly description of the type of the folder; for example, `JPEG image`.
FolderRelativeId	Gets an identifier for the current folder. This ID is unique for the query result or StorageFolder that contains the current folder or file group, and can be used to distinguish between items that have the same name.
Name	Gets the name of the current folder.

Methods

AreQueryOptionsSupported(QueryOptions)	Indicates whether the current folder supports the specified QueryOptions.
CreateFileAsync(String, CreationCollisionOption)	Creates a new file in the current folder. This method also specifies what to do if a file with the same name already exists in the current folder.
CreateFileAsync(String)	Creates a new file with the specified name in the current folder.
CreateFileQuery()	Gets a query result object that contains the files in the current folder.
CreateFileQuery(CommonFileQuery)	Gets a query result object that contains the files in the current folder. Also gets the files from the subfolders of the current folder when the value of the query argument is something other than CommonFileQuery.DefaultQuery. Files are sorted based on the specified CommonFileQuery.
CreateFileQueryWithOptions(QueryOptions)	Gets a query result object that contains the files in the current folder and, optionally, in the subfolders of the current folder. The results are based on the specified QueryOptions.
CreateFolderAsync(String, CreationCollisionOption)	Creates a new subfolder with the specified name in the current folder. This method also specifies what to do if a subfolder with the same name already exists in the current folder.
CreateFolderAsync(String)	Creates a new subfolder with the specified name in the current folder.
CreateFolderQuery()	Gets a query result object that contains the subfolders in the current folder.
CreateFolderQuery(CommonFolderQuery)	Gets a query result object that contains the subfolders in the current folder. When the value of the query argument is something other than CommonFolderQuery.DefaultQuery, gets a list of virtual folders that represent containers for groups of files in the subfolders of the current folder. Files are grouped into folders based on the specified value from the CommonFolderQuery enumeration.
CreateFolderQueryWithOptions(QueryOptions)	Gets a query result object that contains the subfolders in the current folder and, optionally, nested subfolders. The results are based on the specified QueryOptions.
CreateItemQuery()	Gets a query result object that contains the files and subfolders in the current folder.
CreateItemQueryWithOptions(QueryOptions)	Gets a query result object that contains the files and subfolders in the current folder and, optionally, in the subfolders of the current folder. The results are based on the specified QueryOptions.
DeleteAsync()	Deletes the current folder.
DeleteAsync(StorageDeleteOption)	Deletes the current folder. This method also specifies whether to delete the folder permanently.
GetBasicPropertiesAsync()	Gets the basic properties of the current folder or file group.
GetFileAsync(String)	Gets the file with the specified name from the current folder.
GetFilesAsync()	Gets the files in the current folder.
GetFilesAsync(CommonFileQuery, UInt32, UInt32)	Gets an index-based range of files from the list of all files in the current folder. Also gets the files from the subfolders of the current folder when the value of the query argument is something other than CommonFileQuery.DefaultQuery. Files are sorted based on the specified value from the CommonFileQuery enumeration.
GetFilesAsync(CommonFileQuery)	Gets the files in the current folder. Also gets the files from the subfolders of the current folder when the value of the query argument is something other than CommonFileQuery.DefaultQuery. Files are sorted based on the specified value from the CommonFileQuery enumeration.
GetFolderAsync(String)	Gets the subfolder with the specified name from the current folder.
GetFolderFromPathAsync(String)	Gets the folder that has the specified absolute path in the file system.
GetFolderFromPathForUserAsync(User, String)	Gets the StorageFolder based on an absolute path in the file system for a given user.
GetFoldersAsync()	Gets the subfolders in the current folder.
GetFoldersAsync(CommonFolderQuery, UInt32, UInt32)	Gets an index-based range of folders from the list of all subfolders in the current folder. When the value of the query argument is something other than CommonFolderQuery.DefaultQuery, gets a list of virtual folders that represent containers for groups of files in the subfolders of the current folder. Files are grouped into folders based on the specified value from the CommonFolderQuery enumeration.
GetFoldersAsync(CommonFolderQuery)	Gets the subfolders in the current folder. When the value of the query argument is something other than CommonFolderQuery.DefaultQuery, gets a list of virtual folders that represent containers for groups of files in the subfolders of the current folder. Files are grouped into folders based on the specified value from the CommonFolderQuery enumeration.
GetIndexedStateAsync()	Gets the indexed state of the current folder.
GetItemAsync(String)	Gets the file or folder with the specified name from the current folder.
GetItemsAsync()	Gets the files and subfolders in the current folder.
GetItemsAsync(UInt32, UInt32)	Gets an index-based range of files and folders from the list of all files and subfolders in the current folder.
GetParentAsync()	Gets the parent folder of the current folder.
GetScaledImageAsThumbnailAsync(ThumbnailMode, UInt32, ThumbnailOptions)	Gets a scaled image as a thumbnail, determined by the purpose of the thumbnail, the requested size, and the specified options
GetScaledImageAsThumbnailAsync(ThumbnailMode, UInt32)	Gets a scaled image as a thumbnail, determined by the purpose of the thumbnail and the requested size.
GetScaledImageAsThumbnailAsync(ThumbnailMode)	Gets a scaled image as a thumbnail, determined by the purpose of the thumbnail.
GetThumbnailAsync(ThumbnailMode, UInt32, ThumbnailOptions)	Gets a thumbnail image for the current folder, sized for the specified purpose of the thumbnail and adjusted to the requested size with the specified options.
GetThumbnailAsync(ThumbnailMode, UInt32)	Gets a thumbnail image for the current folder, sized for the specified purpose of the thumbnail and adjusted to the requested size.
GetThumbnailAsync(ThumbnailMode)	Gets a thumbnail image for the current folder, sized for the specified purpose of the thumbnail.
