From here, you can:

Option 2:
Another way to update the icon is from the sidebar.

Add or Edit Description
You can add more context to your folder using a description.

Alternatively, you can edit both the folder name and description in one place:

Change Layout and Sorting
You can control how content inside the folder is displayed. To access these options:
Click the Layout & Sort menu (top right, left of the Share button)
Layout Options
Choose how your items are displayed:
List
Small List
Grid
Large Grid
Sorting Options
Sorting depends on the selected layout. Available options include:
Position
Name
Created Date
Kind
Visibility
Author
When sorting:
An upward arrow means ascending order
Click the same option again to switch to descending order
Sorting from Column Headers
Additional controls appear located in the header row directly above your resources.
For List or Small List view, you will see clickable column labels such as Name and Created, which allow you to quickly sort your files.
Click Name to sort items alphabetically
Click Created to sort by creation date
Click the same label again to switch between ascending and descending order
On the right side of the column headers, you will find the Toggle Columns option. This allows you to control which additional columns are visible.
You can show or hide:
Kind
Visibility
Author
If you prefer a cleaner view, you can hide all optional columns and keep only the Name column visible.
You can also adjust the width of each column:
Hover between column headers to reveal the separators
When the resize cursor appears, click and drag to adjust the column width
For Grid or Large Grid view, sorting is handled differently.
The Visibility sorting option appears in the header above your resources
Clicking it allows you to choose between the available sorting options
You can also switch between ascending and descending order
This gives you full control over how much information is visible and how your content is displayed.
Note
Layout and sorting settings are personal. This means:
Your clients will not see the folder layout and sorting options the same way you do
They can customize their own view independently
