They successfully reverted adding a custom toolbar to the taskbar. I create one for each of my cloud drives and one for the desktop. It turns a folder into a menu.

I organize my files in nested folders. It allows me to open files/programs much faster than searching using the mouse hover on the folders

For example:

Clouddrive^research/2023/ file.

Older files or less frequently used ones are buried deeper in a folder tree. Actives ones are very shallow so it's fast to find them.
