How to Add a Folder to Your Home Screen on Android Tablet (File Shortcut)
In this video, I’ll show you how to add a file folder directly to your Android tablet’s home screen for quick access.
On Samsung Galaxy tablets, you can create a shortcut from the My Files app. I’ll also explain what to do on other Android tablets where this option may not be available — including using Google Drive as an alternative way to create quick-access shortcuts.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn:
• How to add a folder to your home screen using My Files (Samsung)
• Where to find the “Add to Home Screen” option
• What to do if your tablet doesn’t support folder shortcuts
• How Google Drive can be used as a workaround
This works on Samsung Galaxy tablets and most other Android tablets (steps may vary slightly depending on the device).
