Provides a unified API to interface with a platform's native file system The API is modeled on System.IO and uses it where it makes sense to do so, with the addition of making IO operations asynchronous.

• Provides wrappers for native file system objects (StorageItem for UWP or File/FolderInfo) which expose most of their functionality and can be used from shared .net standard assemblies
• Supports getting the original file system objects from abstractions in the native assemblies that created them.
• Provides standardized access to key file system areas that all platforms provide (app install folder, app exclusive data store folder)
• Provides standardized ways to prompt the user to pick files/folders using each platform's native UI, complying with sandboxing restrictions

• UWP
• .Net 4.6.1+
• iOS
• macOS
• Android
