Description
In case of a rewrite of the Files App, it would be interesting to imagine the development to allow some cool features:
-
Tabs. This is more of a front-end feature. Tabs can be available at the top of the page, or (better) using the left panel.
Each tab will display the content of a different folder anddrag 'n dropshould be doable from on tab to another. An API would allow any app to create a new Tab. -
Virtual Folder. Back-end. Any app can fill a Model with a group of Node (folders and file) that will be display as a folder on the front-end.
Both feature are complementary, an App create a new Tab with enough parameters so that when retrieving result from the server, the request will be fed by the right app.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by mapping the Files app frontend and backend, then determine how tabs, drag-and-drop, app-created tabs, and virtual folders would interact; done would require an agreed design and implementation across both sides.
