cannot open folder using icon Samsung note 3

[AC Question]

I have information stored in a folder on my Note 3 but when I tap the icon it opens up the folder name for editing, not the folder contents. If I do a search on the phone the contents are still there. why does it not open?

Welcome to Android Central! Where is the folder that you're trying to tap--is it on a homescreen, or are you trying to do this using a file manager app?
