Favorites
Pin folders you use daily so they’re always one click away.
Favorites
Favorites (Quick access) are your “always one click away” places.
They’re meant for locations, not search results:
- projects
- client folders
- staging folders (Downloads / Inbox)
- frequently used volumes and shares
Add to Favorites
Typical ways to add:
- pin the current selection (context menu)
- drag a folder into Favorites (when supported)
Favorites store the path, and they can optionally store a custom display name.
Rename and reorder
Favorites are built to be actively curated:
- reorder by dragging
- rename to match how you think (“Client A”, “Assets”, “Inbox”)
- remove when you stop using a location
What happens when paths change
Favorites are validated against your filesystem:
- if a favorite path no longer exists, it’s automatically cleaned up
- paths are normalized so the same location doesn’t appear twice due to formatting
Patterns that work
- Keep 5–12 Favorites. If it grows beyond that, it becomes “another list to manage”.
- Use Favorites for places, and use Tabs for sessions.
- If you need “a file shortcut”, use symlinks (Explorer calls them Shortcuts).
