+#### Setting default folder
+
+You can set current folder path by assigning a value for `currentFolderId` property. 
+It can be either one of the well-known locations as **-root-**, **-shared-** or **-my-** or a node ID (guid).
+
+There may be scenarios when it is needed to set default path based on relative string value rather than node ID.
+For example when folder name or path is static but it's underlying ID is not (i.e. created manually by admin).
+In this case you can use `alfresco-js-api` to get node details based on it's relative path.
+
+Let's try setting default folder to `/Sites/swsdp/documentLibrary` without knowing it's ID beforehand.
+For the sake of simplicity example below shows only main points you may need paying attention to:
+ 
+```ts
+import { ChangeDetectorRef } from '@angular/core';
+import { AlfrescoApiService } from 'ng2-alfresco-core';
+
+export class FilesComponent implements OnInit {
+
+    currentFolderId: string = '-my-';
+
+    constructor(private apiService: AlfrescoApiService,
+                private changeDetector: ChangeDetectorRef) {
+        // ...
+    }
+
+    ngOnInit() {
+        let nodes: any = this.apiService.getInstance().nodes;
+        nodes.getNodeInfo('-root-', {
+            includeSource: true,
+            include: ['path', 'properties'],
+            relativePath: '/Sites/swsdp/documentLibrary'
+        })
+        .then(node => {
+            console.log(node);
+            this.currentFolderId = node.id;
+            this.changeDetector.detectChanges();
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+We've added `console.log(node)` for the `getNodeInfo` callback just for study and debug purposes. 
+It helps examining other valuable information you can have access to if needed:

+
+**Important note**: for this particular scenario you must also trigger `changeDetector.detectChanges()` as in the example above.
