When in Files, you can create a new folder by right-clicking on an empty space in the files window, then selecting New > Folder.

That is, except when there is no "empty space" in your window.

If there's already a long list of files and folders in your current window, the only option left for creating a folder is using the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+N.

Is there a way I can place a "New Folder" button? I'm not the shortcut kind of guy.

  • Is this referring to when the window is in list view? Because otherwise I can't replicate this issue.

This is not the solution you ask for, but I have an insiders' tip:

You can still use the contextmenu to create a new folder in a full list view.
Just right-click on the "select-checkmark-icon".

    Oh, but you know what, I don't have the "select-checkmark-icon" because I disabled the "single-click" behavior. I use double click on items to activate them... thanks anyway

When all the empty space is gone, just right click in the row at the top (where 'file name', 'size' etc. are) and the drop-down you need opens.
