How to use
Select the "SharePoint" connector when adding steps to the flow.
Select "Create new folder" from the "Actions" menu.

Parameters.
Site Address
Specify the SharePoint group for which you want to create the folder.
List or Library
In most cases, select "Documents", which is the location of the shared files.
Folder Path
Specifies the folder where the file will be created.
Because it is a path, not an ID, the specified folder can be deleted and then a folder with the same name can be created and used as is.

For example, specifying "/Work/Test" will create a "Test" folder under "/Shared Documents/Work/".
