~~Title: PairedFolder~~
<pageheader/>

The **PairedFolder** object is returned by the **[[fsutil|FSUtil]].GetFolderPair** method when you query for a folder's [[:preferences:preferences_categories:frequently_used_paths:paired_folders|pair]].

Make sure you check the **valid** property before querying any others - if **valid** is **False** it means the folder had no pair, so none of the other properties will exist.
