New folders can also be created straight from the apps tray or home screen. Such is true when creating an app folder to group apps according to use or purpose.

Grouping related applications in a single folder is also one of the ways to have an organized home screen.
Aside from file transfers, organizing content in a specific directory is also beneficial in storage management. If you know which data are saved in certain locations, it will be easier for you to access and manage them.
There are two types of folders you can create on your Android phone. If you’d like to create a dedicated folder for general information, then you can just go for normal/visible folders . Meanwhile, if you’d like to create a secret folder where you can store sensitive or confidential data, then a hidden folder is what you should go for.
