GetFolderAsync gets a single sub-folder from the current folder using the specified folder name. In your code, your folder must be null, you need to initialize it to some value. This should work for you - 

StorageFolder folder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
folder = await folder.GetFolderAsync("files");
await file.CopyAsync(folder);

Either ApplicationData is null or .Current is null or .LocalFolder is null or .Path is null.

You will need to find out which one and correct it.
