Tagging items is a great option to organize your content. The same goes for the files and folders in your system as well.

Most of us don’t tag our files and folders in Windows since either we don’t know how to or it is a complicated procedure for us. This is not the case with Filezo. Tagging files, folders or apps is smooth using Filezo.

We have another good news for you. Filezo now supports tagging of files and folders directly from Windows File Explorer.

What is Filezo?

Filezo is a superfast launcher for Windows designed to make your computing life joyful. It gives you instant access to any of your files, folders and apps without the need to browse through hierarchical folders. Type and go! That’s it.

Here is are some of the key Filezo features:

• Lightning speed access to any file, folder or app on your Windows PC.
• Tag files and folders. Supports color-coded and hierarchical tags.
• Add a note to any file without modifying the file itself.
• Integrates with the Windows File open/save window. Directly select a file or jump to any folder in Windows File open/save window using Filezo.
• Preview various types of files including audio/video. Install previewer add-ons to support more files.
• Quick manage files (copy, rename, delete, move) directly from Filezo without the need to open your File manager like Windows File Explorer..
• Share tagged files and folders with other Filezo users over network.
• Share annotated files and folders with other Filezo users over network.
• Quickly find and drag/drop a file over other apps such as the Internet browser, email app, messaging app etc.
• Many more hidden nuggets designed to make file and folder access easier.

Tagging Files & Folders

With Filezo, you can tag your files and folders directly from the app or from Windows File Explorer.

Here’s a short video depicting this feature:

These are the steps to tag files and folders directly from Windows file explorer, using Filezo:

1. Open Windows File Explorer.
2. As shown in the video, we will add tags to files first. Select the files and right click and choose “Show more options”.
3. Click on Tag files and folders.
4. We have created a new tag called “Vacation”
5. To check, open the Tags pane in Filezo and double click on the tag. And there are the tagged files.
6. Now to tag folders, right click on the folders to select them.
7. Choose tag files and folders.
8. Now we will create a new tag called “Projects”.
9. In Filezo, select the folders tab and in search bar type hash. All the tags created will be listed.
10. We will select Projects tag from here. And the folders will be listed.
11. We can also tag files and folders from within Filezo. One way is to right click on a folder or files and select Tags.
12. You can just drag and drop the tag over the folder or files. So simple!!

An easier way to tag files and folders is to drag and drop it from within Filezo. Taggged files and folders can be shared with other users over the network. They just have to install Filezo and index the same shared folders. That’s it! They will have instant access to the same tags.

Why Filezo?

You now have seen how easy it is to assign tags using Filezo. Unlike Windows, the procedure is much simpler.

Another limitation that Windows has is that it only permits tagging of images, videos, and documents. You might not see the tagging option even on supported file types on rare occasions, depending on the file format.

Also, if you use a different file system, or transfer or shift your files to other computers or external hard drives and thumb drives, then the tags do not stay. Tagging of folders is also not supported in Windows.

All these factors make Filezo a good alternative to Windows File Explorer when you want to tag files and folders.

Another cool thing about Filezo is that it allows searching by multiple tags also. Hold the Ctrl key and select the second tag button from the toolbar in Filezo. You will see the second tag being added automatically.
