I am trying to find dialogs available in in UXP localfilesystem. After wandering through the maze of twisty little passages in the online dlocumentation, I got to [this page](https://developer.adobe.com/photoshop/uxp/2021/uxp/reference-js/Modules/uxp/Persistent%20File%20Storage/) which looked so useful, but all (well all the ones I tried at least) are broken (404), Where can I find the dialogs tbhat are available in Storage localfilesystem?

Right now I just want to popup a dialog to select a folder, but I will probably want to find other things that this page should link to soon.

Here you go, `getFolder` returns a UXP `entry` object on which you can use the other `fs` methods.

```auto
const fs = require('uxp').storage.localFileSystem;
const folderEntry = await fs.getFolder();

```

I’d link to the relevant docs but as you’ve seen they’re down! You were in the right place though.

@pkrishna - pinging to notify that some doc pages are 404

You are looking at pages up to Photoshop 2021; see pages 2022 and beyond.
