Okay so I am running KiKat 4.4.4 and I would like to put a shortcut to a folder on my home screen. I know for a fact that this is possible without installing extra apps to do it, because I did it before, but for the life of me I canβt remember how I did it. I have Googled it and really all I Find is people installing an app and using that to create the shortcut, but I do not want to install additional apps, since I donβt have much internal storage left and I canβt save apps to my SD card. I am not rooted and am not able to root.

Nope, unfortunately that doesnβt work for me. That works for a app folder but iβm need to create a shortcut to a Documents folder. I have tried long pressing the home screen and there is no option for creating folders or shortcuts, and when i go to the folder on my SD card I get the option to copy or move the folder but there isnβt away to copy or move it to the home screen.Comment

I got out the older (Lollipop) of my two tablets and neither set of directions worked. I wanted a shortcut to my Images.
I had to open File Manager. Long press Images (a tap would open the Image folder). I got a menu with 2 items: one of them was add shortcut to Launcher. Thatβs what I had to select.Comment
