You can make any new folder button open in a popup when you are creating it. Just toggle Open in Popup ON before you tap Done.

  1. Go inside the folder where you see the folder button you want to make open a popup.
  2. Tap the Edit Edit icon button in the bottom toolbar to open Edit Mode.
  3. Tap the folder button to select it.

  3. Scroll down the list of actions to the Open Folder row. Tap More Info Icon Info@2X on the right side.
