Hey folks, greetings.

I want to enter into my folder collection (Like a User001), I used a program to make FlashCards from videos, and to finish correctly, I need to go to my folder collection, I went to the Anki folder but I couldn’t find the folder collection.

Thanks a lot, and sorry for my awful Englis.

The way Anki’s collection is stored may not be completely straightforward to use, depending on how much acquaintance you’ve got with SQL (and with how the database is actually managed). Luckily, there are several alternatives to let Anki deal with these low level operations, among which [generating CSV files and importing them in Anki](https://docs.ankiweb.net/importing.html) (which is language agnostic), using an API that deals with it for you ([Python](https://github.com/kerrickstaley/genanki) or [C#](https://github.com/AnkiTools/AnkiSharp)) or [directly communicating with an open instance of Anki](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2055492159) (language agnostic but requiring communicating through a POST API, which, depending on your language, might be easy or not).
