IMPORTANT - DO NOT RENAME these folders, as they are route folders.

What is a route folder?

Consider a route folder as the Main folder and the folders/files as Sub folders. If you give someone full access to the Main folder, all the folders and files under the Main folder will be accessible to that person.

NOTE: The New à Folder option is only available by first opening a route folder.
