Examples
The following example demonstrates how to get the StorageProvider for a local file:
using Windows.Storage;
using Windows.Storage.Provider;
// Get the file
StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync("C:\\example\\example.txt");
// Get the provider for the file
StorageProvider provider = file.Provider;
Remarks
For example, if a file or folder is stored on Microsoft OneDrive, StorageProvider will contain a display name, id, and thumbnail for Microsoft OneDrive.
Typically, you access StorageProvider objects as the result of calls to asynchronous methods and functions. They can also be accessed through properties of other file and folder objects such as the IStorageItemPropertiesWithProvider.Provider, StorageFile.Provider, and StorageFolder.Provider properties.
