Use the Create Directory activity in UiPath.

Just search for it in the Activites window.

you have to mention the path correctly like the below:-

"C:\Users\Documents\UiPath\Your_Folder_Name"

Create directory Activity will be the key to do this, before doing so, please make sure you (your UiPath) do have the privilege for creating folder in your C-Drive and/or D-Drive (if your C-Drive is readonly for your logged in user, the robot cannot do anything).

I wrote the following simple example which works for me, simply save them into a notepad with extension .xaml, and open with UiPath. By running it, your C-Drive and D-Drive should both be created with a folder called MasterFolderC or MasterFolderD, with 3 subfolders underneath.

Hope it helps.
