Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some frequently accessed folders on my phone are quite deep in the file system, it becomes a chore to have to navigate to them each time.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow me to pin folders to my home screen

Describe alternatives you've considered
Move these folders to the root, but that screws up the relational structure that I'm used to, because a folder that I frequently access on my phone is not a folder that I frequently access on other machines.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating the Android home-screen and folder-navigation flows, then clarify the pinning interaction and storage behavior with maintainers. Done should include a defined way to pin a folder, access it from the home screen, and verify the behavior with tests or a documented QA plan.
