Exists
Indicates whether the specified file exists in IB Drive.

Remarks
- The activity only checks whether the specified file exists; it does not modify the file.
- A file that has been deleted and moved to the Recycle Bin is not considered to exist at its original IB Drive location.
- When using By Path, specify the logical IB Drive path including the file name and extension.
