Can we get an update on how to change the folder colors

[@UTDInfoTech]

Hello, @butterflyjaie9550! 1. Navigate online to your OneDrive. 2. Right-click on the folder where you want to change the color. 3. Select "Folder color," then select the color you want! (FYI: If a color is already selected for that folder, it will show the color as a circle icon on the right of the "Folder color" option.) I hope this was hopeful. Let us know if there is anything else we can help with regarding this matter. Have fun color coding! 🌈

I've just noticed a stand alone onedrive software for browsing etc instead of viewing on a web page...do you know why the photos section loads on a web page instead of within the program like everything else? doesn't seem to be a setting for it?...

Hi! How do you get these colors to spill over to Explorer? Some of my colleagues with newly installed computers (Win11) get these folder colors when using the Onedrive app syncing to Explorer. I can't get this to work! I have tried to uninstall Onedrive and deleting all files, then install and sync again. No luck!

Be sure you are logged in to your UT Dallas account with your NetID. You do need to be in the folders on OneDrive and not through the main channels in Teams. If you log into office.com and navigate to onedrive you will see the option for Folder Colors. 📂
