[Bug 854305] [NEW] Home folder in the files area is confusing for some users

 

Public bug reported:

A user said this:

"At first I thought the Home hyperlink/button did not work, but then
when I created folders I noticed it’s a breadcrumb nav tool.

Home does not need to be there when you are at home because you click it
& it does nothing.  Call it "My Files" or remove it."

I'll submit a patch to hide the folder navigation when viewing the Home
folder, however, if people think it'd be better to rename it to My
Files, I'll do that instead, or we can do nothing.
