Abstract
Techniques for navigating content and one or more subfolders within a folder are described. In an implementation, an instance of content is situated in a folder. The folder also includes one or more subfolders that may each have one or more instances of content situated within them. When the instance of content is accessed, an iterator control may be provided that is scrollable to present one or more representations (e.g., icons) of content that is situated in the folder and one or more representations of subfolders that are situated in the folder. One or more of the representations of subfolders are selectable to navigate to a subfolder page.

A method comprising:
- outputting a scrollable iterator control that includes one or more representations of content that is situated within a folder, the one or more representations of content being selectable to output an instance of content;
- and
- outputting, within the scrollable iterator control, a representation of a subfolder situated within the folder, the representation of the subfolder being selectable to navigate within the subfolder.
A method comprising:
- retrieving, from a folder maintained by a web resource, an instance of content situated in the folder and information about one or more subfolders situated in the folder;
- and
- outputting the instance of content and a folder iterator control adjacent to the instance of content, the folder iterator control being scrollable to present a plurality of icons associated with other instances of content situated in the folder and the one or more subfolders, at least one of the plurality of icons being selectable to navigate to a subfolder page associated with one of the one or more subfolders.
One or more computer-readable media comprising instructions that are executable by a device to:
- receive a selection of a subfolder icon within a first iterator control, the first iterator control being configured to present one or more representations of content and one or more representations of subfolders that are situated within a folder;
- and
- navigate to a subfolder associated with the subfolder icon, the subfolder including a second iterator control that is configured to present one or more representations of content that is situated within the subfolder.
