Tracing back from a paper to the folder in Zotero where it is stored

I found a paper by searching by author name in the my library folder. I know I have other papers on the topic of interest and that the paper I found is in the same folder where those other papers are stored. But I haven't been able to find that folder by other means. Is there a way to trace back from the one paper I have found to the folder where it,and the other papers interest, are stored?

I am not 100% sure but I suspect you are talking about collections. If so, here is the answer:

Please note that collections are not folders, they have distinct properties that might surprise you if you think of them that way. See this page for exhaustive information:
