    Among email services, Gmail has been very popular and become an integral part of everyone’s business. By default, the mails will be categorized into three sections: Primary, Social, and Promotions. Apart from these inbox categories, you can create folders in Gmail to organize your messages. In Gmail, the folders are called labels. The main advantage of using labels is that you can keep your inbox organized. Gmail also supports using more than one label for a single message.

    How to Create Folders in Gmail

    You can create labels on Gmail only from the web version. The Gmail app on Android and iOS devices doesn’t support creating new folders. It only supports moving the emails to labels.

    Step 1: Visit gmail.com on a PC web browser and sign in to your Google account.

    Step 2: On the left side menu panel, click the More option located below the Drafts menu.

    Note: If you want to place your new label inside the existing label like sub-folder, check the Nest label under box and select your parent label.
