Comments
In addition to grabbing a specific file, the Get Folder Contents allows Shortcuts users to extract all the files included in a folder, including recursively (meaning it can extract the contents of a folder it finds inside as well).
This action is just as if not more powerful than Get File, because now Shortcuts users can operate on entire folder structures they’ve created, performing changes to entire directories or unpacking a filesystem in a completely scripted fashion.
