Add Folder Icon

Q: When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for create menus in drives and asset libraries, as the entry that starts an empty directory; trailing controls on sidebar tree groups that nest a new subfolder under the hovered one; and save and move dialogs where a destination directory has to be made before confirming. For the success state on a directory row once a sync or copy finishes, use the Folder Added icon. For sending a whole directory and everything in it from the device to the drive, use the Folder Up icon.

Folder with a plus in the center, for creating new folders, directories and project groups. Available in 4 styles (outline, solid, duotone and filled) as a React component you install with the shadcn CLI.
