To create a folder structure when an app is loaded in ASP.NET Core, follow these steps:

Define Folder Paths: Determine the folder paths you need to create.

Use Directory Class: Use the System.IO.Directory class to create the directories.

create if not exists:

var libFolder = FileSystem.AppDataDirectory; var appFolder = Path.Combine(libFolder,"app"); var logFolder = Path.Combine(appFolder,"log"); if (!Directory.Exists(appFolder)) Directory.Create(appFolder); if (!Directory.Exists(logFolder)) Directory.Create(logFolder);

note: on macOS .net 8 is a catalyst app, and the data folder is the sandbox folder (~/Library/Containers/<appname>/Data). The install will also create links to common folders that the manifest specifies (Downloads, Movie, Pictures, etc).

yes, System.IO works on the Mac. you just need to remember paths use "/" not "\", and there is no UNC format support.
