  Target Milestone: ---

I’m dual booting with Windows and keep all my data on a secondary SSD. When I
select this drive in the Places panel, this jumps to a mount folder in the
Folders panel, which I find a bit jarring:

* I have to move the mouse all the way from the Places panel to the mount
folder in the Folders pane to start exploring the drive’s folder structure.
* Said mount folder is surrounded with “clutter” from the OS drive. I
understand of course that this is simply how Linux works - but at least for me,
it’s a technical detail that I don’t necessarily want to see.

If instead of a drive, you select a Place such as “Downloads” or “Trash”, you
get a much cleaner result already: the Folders panel only shows the subfolders
of that place, not its parents or siblings. However, it’s still a separate
panel.

What would you think about combining the Places and Folders panels into one, so
that it becomes possible to expand a drive and see its folders immediately
below it?
