Where is the “add Folder” icon?

Question

i just wondered where the add folder icon has gone? I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. I'm not aware if it was there in the past, because normally i don't use the filemanager at all :)

Is this normal or is something weird on my system?

Answer 1

The "Add Folder" button went away a little while ago, but there are three ways to create folders from the UI:

1. Right click in an open space:
   
2. Click the "List" (three horizontal lines) icon in the upper corner, then click on the folder with a [+]:
   
3. Press Shift+Ctrl+N

Choose whichever one works best for your workflow.

Hope this answers your question.
