I am trying to create a File Explorer like uwp app, it will be an app like traditional file explorer in windows 10 but it will mainly show only video files, so for that I want to use BroadFileAccess capability. Usually when I use a capability related to FileAccess I have a simple API like KnownFolders.VideoLibrary and others like that to get the root folder of that library, but in this case broadfileacccess claims to give access to complete file system which is available to the user, but in the docs there is not a single method or api reference something likeKnownFolders.FileSystem which can give us the root folder of the file system of the user so we can build apps like file explorer etc. How can I actually go on and use this broadFileAccess capability if there is not even a api method to use it ?
no api for file system even with broadFileAccess in uwp

From official document:
Currently, it does not provide proprietary
Windows.Storage
API. But you could use presentWindows.Storage
API to get higher access. For example, you could invokeGetFolderFromPathAsync
method with absolute path(@"D:\PersonImages"
). You could useGetFolderFromPathAsync
withSystemDataPaths
orUserDataPaths
.Prior to this, this kind of access was illegal.
