Folder entities are used primarily to organize content into a structure. For example, you can create a folders collection for media content, and within it have a ‘music’ folder for music content, and a ‘video’ folder for video content.
Using App Services APIs you can create, retrieve, update, delete, and query folder entities. See General-purpose endpoints for descriptions of these APIs.
Folder properties
The following are the system-defined properties for foldetr entities. You can create application-specific properties for a folder entity in addition to the system-defined properties. The system-defined properties are reserved. You cannot use these names to create other properties for a folder entity. In addition the folders name is reserved for the folders collection — you can't use it to name another collection.
