How do I move folders from the home screen to the app drawer?

[Android Central Question]

Hi folks...I've created several folders on my home screens (news, music, etc), which each contain several apps/icons.

I would like to move those folders from the home screen and into the app drawer...is there a way to do that? Or do I have to recreate each and every folder a second time?

Thanks...

You can't move a folder to the app drawer, only apps. You can only have folders on the home screens.

Kodak2, that's actually not true, at least in Android 8 and above (I can't remember the details of previous versions)...you definitely CAN create folders in the app drawer...at least I can on my S8+ running the Samsung launcher.

It all depends on the launcher that you are using and not on the Android version. Some launchers, stock or custom, will let you create folders in the app drawer. Others, like the launchers used in Pixels, Moto devices, etc, don't include this option.
