--- Comment #1 from Dimitri <dimitri.code at proton.me> ---
I think that :
- For Home, the arrow on the left is good. It allows to see what is up in the
hierarchy.

- For Trash, it make sense to have nothing at the left of the name, as it is
shown as a tool that doesn't have a specific place in the folder. But we could
argue that we could create a fake hierarchy for list of tools and thus have
them in the same type of arrow. I am not sure that this list of tools is a good
idea here.

- For root (/), it is the same than home (/home/). The lock icon is here to say
that we can't edit the content. But it looks really bad ! First I agree that
the icon should be symbolic like you said, then the icon should be in the box
that include the name (it would looks closer from the name and when hoovering
it would looks like a property of the folder instead of something independent),
and last I think that the icon should be at the right instead of the left.

- For Network, having an edition text is good to warn the user that he can put
a url here, but there are too many things.
The "remote" text should be written as Trash, with capital letter and same
style.
When we click on it, there are things that are normal to see (like sftp), there
things that I am not sure what they are suppose to do, and things that
shouldn't be here (like desktop). If we want to link to unrelated place/tools,
it should be done the same way on Trash, and it would be better with > on the
left of the tool (looking like on Home) instead of mixing it with network
tools. For network tools, when we click on one of it (like sftp), it is bad
that everything disappear (no more network drop-down and no more text
indicating that we should put an url).
The folder icon between "remote" and the url is slightly confusing, like as
written, it is for url, not local folder, and a folder icon can make us think
of an ordinary folder path instead of something like internet.
The drop-down arrow at the right is confusing as it contains a list of previous
locations unrelated to remote places. It would be better to not have it here or
only having previously entered remote access.
I would add that it would be cool if the "Add Network folder" was visible when
right clicking in the "folder" in place of the grayed "Create new". I don't
mind having it in the tool bar too.
