Feature description

I have phone with SD card, which I use as a backup. This results in frequently moving files between internal storage and SD card. The only way to switch file manager view is a small button at the upper left corner of the screen. It's not only unergonomic but also does not retain you current folder view (path). I would like the ability to set SD Card as it's own separate tab.

Why do you want this feature?

To improve quality of live for users using more than just internal storage.

Additional information

This feature could be opt in, and could be added in already existing menu settings -> Manage shown tabs.

    This is slightly similar to #492.

    2. This is slightly similar to #492.

    You're right, it is. #492 is more general, but if it allowed to set home any arbitrary location, including sd card, it could even be better. I will keep the issue open for now, but if #492 gets implemented, this one can be closed.
