Copying a folder from Google Drive to Google Drive
How do I copy a folder in Google Drive for Android or Google Drive via Google Chrome for Android? I tried long pressing the folder but I cannot select the folders. I can only open them and view their contents.

Is there a way to find all apps in Nova Launcher which are NOT in folders (similar to Folder Organizer)?

I am contemplating getting a Nova Prime launcher, as opposed to my current combination of Nova free and Folder Organizer.
The main feature of Folder Organizer that I see as a must-have and not sure if possible on Nova is an easy way to find ALL of your installed un-labeled apps (via "Other Applications automatic label") so you can work on relabeling/foldering them (assuming your goal is to have a proper folder for every app you have).
**Is there such a feature (easily find all not-in-folders installed apps) in Nova Prime?**
If not, a second subquestion is, is there a good replacement launcher among those well known (Apex, GO, etc...) that has such a feature?

Question :- Any apps or ways to categories group apps folders in menu view
Is there any apps or setting to categories group move apps installed icons in folders inside menu view. as there is jumble of apps to search in alphabetical order which cant be moved or.clubed inside menu view of. Android 6.0 unrooted mobile phone.
I had searched Google and.finded smart launcher go launcher x or drawer to. Circle launchers but all just change wallpapers or screens or create widgets folder organizer manager but no one manages the menu view
Yes I know we can create folder in home (mobile desktop views) but rereating folders shortcut making home screens desktop jumbled will slow down booting of Android starting and many time it don't display icon image on reboot of mobiles.
Can we create self menu (as start menu in Windows properly organised) through app and hide the original menu and replace our own menu. I have seen a circle.menu recreated by some apps.
Any stable good idea or app to create organize categorise apps icons shortcuts in a menu view as it's not customisable in Android 6.

Is there a way to make a folder you CAN'T share images from?
I'm constantly scared I might accidentally "butt-dial" share my girlfriend's sensitive images, is there any way to make a folder for images that won't include a share function?

I am running Android 6 Marshmallow on Sony Xperia z3.
I use my memory card second partition to link most of my apps and increase my space. (app2 SD / link2sd app)
some of my folders I link manually using a folder mount program. from internal memory to memory card first or main partition. for purpose of my testing I unmounted or delink all tgese linked folders.
so my internal memory shows as just 1.2 gig free from some 12 gig internal memory. matter of fact currently space occupied shows only has 4.5 gig . using any File Explorer. I am using this file explorer in root mode which means I am able to see all invisible or hidden folders..
in spite of that I am not able to account for the missing 4 + GB or space what is occupying this... there is some process That seems to be creating a totally invisible file which even I cannot see as root..
how to identify this kind of files and go ahead and delete them. if only 1.2 GB is free it means around 10 GB is occupied but in the attached picture only 4.8 GB are occupied. how do you account for the discrepancy ?

Delete folders from the SD storage
I have a Nexus 4 smartphone and in external storage there are many folders which I believe to be unused and/or empty. Is it possible to delete them safely? In other words, if I delete an empty folder that is really needed by an app, will it get recreated automatically or will I break the app?

Can I have a folder (on the home screen) with more than the default amount allowed per folder on the Nexus 5, which is 16?
I'm searching a way to make all my games into a single folder. Is there a tweak/app/root command to makes my folders (not storage folders, folders in which you can add shortcuts for apps n' stuff) have, for exemple, multiple pages, kinda like in the IOS system, or a scroll-able folder?

I'm searching a way to make all my games into a single folder. Is there a tweak/app/root command to makes my folders (not storage folders, folders in which you can add shortcuts for apps n' stuff) have, for exemple, multiple pages, kinda like in the IOS system, or a scroll-able folder? Or a way of having a folder in a folder (which would be overkill but hey, it's still a way to enhance the capacity of the folders.)?
I'm using a Nexus 5 running the stock ROM with Android 5.1.1. *And I would prefer staying like that, not using Launchers or custom ROMs.*
Thanks! ^.^

I really like Mitch S.'s Flat Icons . However, they are only available on Google Play packaged for Go Launcher .
On Windows, you used to be able to extract any icon in
.ico
format from icon library or an .exe
file and use it elsewhere.
Is there an "app for that"™ on Android?
I'm specifically interested in using with Folder Organizer.
