use the function FileExists(Path)

If it exists returns -1 if not 0

 

It can be the folder path or the folder path plus the file name with extension

Thankyou @geraldo - using the FileExists(Path) in a formula, followed by a filter to then feed through the "True" paths to Dynamic Input works perfectly!
