Description

Hi,

It would be very useful to be able to assign colors to folders in Nextcloud.

Example use case:

Important = Red

In progress = Yellow

Done = Green

This would make it easier to visually organize projects and quickly see the status of folders.

Ideally this could be done by right-clicking a folder and selecting a color or label.

Is something like this planned, or is there already an app that supports this?

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the folder context-menu UI and checking whether an existing Nextcloud app supports folder colors; done requires an agreed design for color or label selection and its behavior across the file interface.
