+  Provides a VMware vSphere folder data source. This can be used to get the general attributes of a vSphere inventory folder.

+
+# vsphere\_folder
+
+The `vsphere_folder` data source can be used to get the general attributes of a
+vSphere inventory folder. Paths are absolute and include must include the
+datacenter.  
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```hcl
+data "vsphere_folder" "folder" {
+  path = "/dc1/datastore/folder1"
+}
+```
+
+## Argument Reference
+
+The following arguments are supported:
+
+* `path` - (Required) The absolute path of the folder. For example, given a
+  default datacenter of `default-dc`, a folder of type `vm`, and a folder name
+  of `terraform-test-folder`, the resulting path would be
+  `/default-dc/vm/terraform-test-folder`. The valid folder types to be used in
+  the path are: `vm`, `host`, `datacenter`, `datastore`, or `network`.
+
+## Attribute Reference
+
+The only attribute that this resource exports is the `id`, which is set to the
+[managed object ID][docs-about-morefs] of the folder.
