Description
### What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?
I have recently downloaded the app and fell in love immediately, its amazing as it is and thanks for the hard work on it!
Note:
I cam here via the inbuilt app link for features, and did a quick search for this feature before posting both in documentation, in the app itself and in github issues section.
Context: Video Production.
Problem:
I have a lot of drives that are purely on my system for backups and mirroring production drives.
This leads to a large list of drives, it would be great to be able to group them, tag them or hide some drives to make the navigation pane more clear.
Solution:
I'm not familiar with the codebase or limitations that are on the project on how this should function , I'm aware the tags system is file level, potentially tags feature could be leverage to extend to drives, or alternative "Homes" could be configured to have the Primary Home and Virtual Homes which hide unwanted items from that home.
This would be great for me to hide the backup drives, not be bound to the drive letter ordering and more clearly identify usb devices that are plugged in like hdd's and sdcard readers from my internal drives.
Thanks so much.
Rob.
### Requirements

- Allow Reordering of the Drives including a "div" section and allow show/hide the items below that with toggle.
