Description

Related to #53342

The newly introduced dropdown menu in the breadcrumbs/path bar should include all possible actions on a folder, so in addition to the ones already there:

  • Add/remove favorite
  • Details
  • Manage tags
  • Rename
  • Move or copy
  • Set reminder
  • Open locally
  • Download
  • Delete folder

And anything else that might normally be accessible.

For all of them, after the action has been performed, any associated state in the UI should refresh automatically.

When moving the folder, it should open the folder in the new location. When deleting it, it should open the parent folder.
