# create_folder

> Create a new folder for organizing documents

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Sync">
    ```python theme={null}
    def create_folder(
        name: str,
        description: Optional[str] = None,
        full_path: Optional[str] = None,
        parent_id: Optional[str] = None,
    ) -> Folder
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Async">
    ```python theme={null}
    async def create_folder(
        name: str,
        description: Optional[str] = None,
        full_path: Optional[str] = None,
        parent_id: Optional[str] = None,
    ) -> Folder
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Parameters

* `name` (str): Folder name (leaf segment when using nested paths). If `full_path` is omitted, this becomes the canonical path.
* `description` (str, optional): Optional description of the folder.
* `full_path` (str, optional): Canonical folder path (e.g., `"/projects/alpha/specs"`). Leading slash is optional; parents are created automatically.
* `parent_id` (str, optional): Explicit parent folder ID. Usually not needed—`full_path` handles hierarchy creation.

## Returns

* `Folder`: Newly created folder object.
