How to select folder path from listview

I have a listview with folders. I am trying to get the files of a selected folder from the listview to add them to a listbox.

private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string filepath = Path.GetDirectoryName(listView1.SelectedItems);
    listBox1.Items.Add(filepath);
}

This is what I have and I know this should only add the folder to the listbox but it just adds (Collection) to the listbox.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Following @aria's code I switch Path.GetDirectoryName(listview1.SelectedItems[i].Text) to Directory.GetFiles[i].Text) but now it gives me an error. System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: 'Could not find a part of the path and the path is to the debug folder of the project, not the actual folder path.

Why is it going to the debug folder instead?

As their comments mentions SelectedItems will give you collection of ListViewItem so you can iterate over them like.

private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  if(listView1.SelectedItems.Count == 0) return;
  for(int i=0;i<=listView1.SelectedItems.Count-1;i++)
  {
      string filepath = Path.GetDirectoryName(listView1.SelectedItems[i].Text);
      listBox1.Items.Add(filepath);
  }
}
