 ApplicationDataContainer AppStorageSetting = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;

In UWP the best method to remember picked StorageFiles is to use FutureAccessList or MostRecentlyUsedList. You can hold files and folders there and access them by a returned token. The advantage of this method is that it also remembers privileges.

You can store the obtained token in LocalSettings and then reuse it to access the file.
