# Get Files From Folder Action

With the help of the Get Files From Folder it is possible to iterate over file paths of a folder. The files for a desired folder path can be scanned only on top level or in recursive way by enabling corresponding switch within the node settings. When proceeding with the node’s output „Next file“ all found file paths will be written into the job.source wildcard iteratively.
