4. Workspace Header
-
When you select an item from the sidebar (like "Recents," "Shared with Me," or a specific workspace), the header updates to show the name of the selected view.

If you select a workspace, the header typically displays tabs for different content categories(as shown below).

Create a Folder
Click the "New folder" button in the upper right corner to open a creation dialog.
Manage Folders
Right-click a folder to open its context menu: Open, Rename, or Delete.
Deleting a folder moves both the folder and all its contents to the Trash, where they can be restored for a limited time.
Access Files from the Folder Cover
In card view, you can see file thumbnails inside the folder cover. Click a thumbnail to directly access file editing.
