Generate a file from the string of your folder directory

String path="Folder directory";    
File file = new File(path);

and use method exist.
If you want to generate the folder you sould use mkdir()

if (!file.exists()) {
            System.out.print("No Folder");
            file.mkdir();
            System.out.print("Folder created");
        }

There is no need to separately call the exists   method  as isDirectory   implicitly checks whether the directory exists or not

Quite simple   new File   Path To File or Directory   exists      And if you want to be certain it is a directory   File f   new File   Path To File or Directory    if  f exists    amp  amp  f isDirectory

From SonarLint  if you already have the path  use path toFile   exists   instead of Files exists for better performance      The Files exists method has noticeably poor performance in JDK 8  and can slow an application significantly when used to check files that don t actually exist     The same goes for Files notExists  Files isDirectory and Files isRegularFile    Noncompliant Code Example   Path myPath  if java nio Files exists myPath         Noncompliant        do something     Compliant Solution   Path myPath  if myPath toFile   exists              do something
