We have hundreds of folders in our systems. And it gets really hectic to look for specific files lost somewhere in the lot.

Tagging folders is therefore what i would suggest. Just like how you tag files, tagging folders will help you stay organized and makes things more accessible.

In our previous post, we gave steps on how to tag files directly from Windows File explorer, using Filezo, and why it is better than Windows.

Windows offers the ability to tag files. But it only permits tagging of images, videos, and documents. You cannot tag any other type of file in Windows. Plus Windows doesn’t let you tag a folder.

This post will show you how you can tag folders in Windows using the Windows File Explorer and an alternative software, Filezo. Filezo lets you tag any file or folder. This is the most important difference between Filezo and Windows tagging system.

This post will tell you how to tag folders directly from File Explorer using Filezo. You will be able tag even files in the same way.
