What's new 
I have an Android device running in kiosk lockdown mode and need to create a local download folder for files. Is there a way to create an empty folder on the device through Hexnode, or are there any File Management option for this?

Hello @gareyy ,
Hexnode UEM does not currently provide a direct option to create an empty folder on an Android device.
If your goal is to place files on the kiosk device, you can use the File Management policy to push files from the Hexnode repository to a specific destination path on the device.
Steps:
- Go to Content tab in the Hexnode UEM portal.
- Click Add Content and upload the file that needs to be sent to the device.
- Go to Policies and create a new policy, or edit an existing policy assigned to the Android kiosk device.
- Navigate to Android > File Management.
- Click Configure.
- Enter the Destination path where the file should be placed on the device.
- Enter the File Name exactly as it appears in the uploaded file.
- Click Add.
- Go to Policy Targets, choose the target device, and save the policy.
This works as a file push workflow rather than a standalone folder creation action. If the requirement is only to create an empty directory without pushing a file, that is not supported directly from Hexnode UEM at the moment.
