Path.Combine will only give you the path string. It won't create a directory by itself.

I suggest passing IHostingEnvironment to your class through dependency injection and then using WebRootPath to get the path for wwwroot folder (i.e. not hardcoding it).

public class YourClass
{
   private readonly IHostingEnvironment _env;

   public YourClass(IHostingEnvironment env)
   {
       _env = env;
   }

   public YourMethod()
   {
       string path = Path.Combine(_env.WebRootPath, "UploadFile").ToLower();

       //if path does not exist -> create it
       if (!Directory.Exists(path)) Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
   }
}

Please try with below code sample :

var filePath = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), @"wwwroot\UploadFile");
if (!Directory.Exists(filePath))
{
    Directory.CreateDirectory(filePath);
}
