      const parentFolder = await Promise.all(
        folders.map(async (folder) => {
          const folderName = await folder.getName()

            return folder
          }
          return null
        }),
      ).then((results) => results.find((folder) => folder !== null))

      // Create Asset Folder with parent folder
